Children's/Juvenile Literature

I have retained my appreciation for and enjoyment of children's or juvenile literature throughout the years. As a grandmother, I adore the opportunity to not only purchase and gift children's books to my 10+ grandchildren, but also to read or reread these gems! They are so enjoyable and allow me to "escape" the real/"adult" fiction world for a bit!

I hope you enjoy my reviews of some of these books, and perhaps you'll be encouraged to try reading a few yourself!
