Oh yeah, I still have Harriet on my bookshelf. She was a blogger way ahead of her time.
Here’s more: All-of-a-Kind Family. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. and of course… Little House in the Big Prairie Creek Town ….

Starring Sally J. Freed… oh I see someone has already titled it. I happen to have a copy right here. Not kidding.

And that other one someone tried to mention is Summer of my German Soldier. Love it. Also still have it on my shelf.

Sarabeth, exactly, and even as a kid I remember being fascinated with things like her Esther Williams obsession and the fact her family had a party-line telephone. Also, when I was a kid and a bird pooped on me I remembered the book to keep from crying.

I would love to re-read these. I’m also adding to the list “Harriet the Spy.”

I loved Sally J Freedman. And she loves Esther Williams swimming movies, and doesn’t like tongue. And I learned that it’s good luck to have a bird poop on you from reading that book…. remember?

I am rereading some childhood favorites now to my son. Mary Poppins, Half Magic, Stuart Little, Pippi Longstocking, the Saturdays…
Happy New YEar!

I was thinking that surely you were going to mention “The Summer of My (Insert Forgotten Ethnicity Here) Soldier.”
I would have gotten that one, except for the ethnicity.
