Snipp, Snapp, Snurr and Flicka, Ricka, Dicka

I just love Classic literature for children. I love the way the language is slightly different and more formal than how we speak today, and I also love the precious illustrations. Of course there are very few books written about triplets. Imagine my surprise when I learned that a Swedish woman named Maj Lindman wrote not one, but TWO series about triplets that were first published in 1932! What fabulous news from my sweet Dallas friends, A & Mel. I bought several of the books as Christmas gifts for our children and we have all been delighted to learn of the adventures of the triplet boys Snipp, Snapp, and Snurr and of the triplet girls, Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka. You, too, will delight in these sweet stories to read to your young children or students! They are hard to find in bookstores, but you can find them on Amazon.com! Happy reading!!

Character Building Books

Do you like your children to read books that build character? I do! I feel like today's books often do not teach the same values of books written in the 19th and early to mid-20th century. I LOVE Landmark biographies and devoured them as a young reader. One of my current favorites to read to our passel of little girls is "Little Susy Stories" by Elizabeth Prentiss. It is sold on Amazon.com for over $140!!! However, I found it $7.00 at the Grace and Truth website by clicking here. It would make a perfect gift for a little girl you love, even if she is older than Little Susy!! I think all elementary aged girls would love these delightful stories. What books do you love for your children?
