THE CHALLENGE:
For Beth and Chrissi (chrissireads.wordpress.com) who are sisters, bloggers and book fiends to read a classic piece of childrens literature for every month of 2013. We are defining the word classic as “a book we enjoyed when we were knee high to a grasshopper or can imagine enjoying if we were STILL knee high to a grasshopper!” Any excuse to revisit my youth…
THE BOOKS:
JANUARY – Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – Lewis Carroll
FEBRUARY – The Water Babies – Charles Kingsley
MARCH – The Phantom Tollbooth – Norton Juster
APRIL – Stig of the Dump – Clive King
MAY – Heidi – Johanna Spyri
JUNE – A Little Princess – Frances Hodgson Burnett
JULY – Charlotte’s Web – E.B. White
AUGUST – The Children of the New Forest – Frederick Marryat
SEPTEMBER – A Wrinkle in Time – Madeleine L’Engle
OCTOBER – Oliver Twist – Charles Dickens
NOVEMBER – Northern Lights/The Golden Compass – Philip Pullman
DECEMBER – The Railway Children – E.Nesbit
Reviews will be posted on here by the usual process and I will also be linking to Chrissi’s reviews in my own. Let the reading begin!
