Have I told you how wonderfully kind and pretty and smart you are lately?

My mom found three of the series of five for me at a tag sale once. Can’t stand the Noddy tv show. Five Go Down to the Sea wasn’t so bad in a Boxcar Children kind of way.

I also miss the waiting part for the Harry Potter books. My two eldest kids were old enough to go to the last three midnight release parties and those will always be great memories for us. Now we wait on the movies, but it isn’t the same…

Hm. We’ll see. Depends how nice you are to me between now and when I see you next.

Well, I got Kenneth Grahame’s charming The Reluctant Dragon, a copy of The Ordinary Princess with a nicer cover than mine has, the most beautifully illustrated book of fairy tales I’ve ever seen (Jane Ray is the artist and I now love her), and a few gifts I can’t say (alas!) because my sister reads this.

What were the other irresistible kid’s books?
