.…Before You Grow Up.
I really love having this book on the shelves and a couple of years ago I started finding the books recommended in this large tome.
I’ve decided to resurrect this project. I will probably jump around a bit as in the first instance I will read those books I can find on line from the library or through the app Libby. I noticed they had lots of children’s books and that is what reminded me of this book.
I will put up a photo in the sidebar and link it to this page. It will be something to add on in a LEISURELY fashion as I find the books. Not being around children anymore (I worked with them for 35 years) I find I miss their books. This will be a good way to catch up. So here goes….

i hope they list “Freddy the Pig” books in there: they were a major part of my life, some 65 years ago… in fact i still like reading about Freddy and Mr. Bean…

Sadly I do not see Freddy the Pig in the book. But neither is the Raggedy Ann series which I loved. I guess the books listed are those that “are good for us”. I looked up Freddy as I’d not heard of him. I would have loved him as a child. Lots of adventures among his animal friends. I see there were 27 of them. They were first published in 1927. The illustrations are wonderful. I am glad I now know about Freddy the Pig.

I’ve never heard of the Freddy the Pig series either.

Ooo, I can’t wait for your list to grow! I have a children’s list too but I’m not doing too well with it at the moment. I’m hoping that you’ll inspire me!
