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!!

Goodnight Moon and other bedtime stories


In the great green room
there was a telephone
and a red balloon
and a picture of--
the cow jumping over the moon

Thus begins one of our very favorite bedtime stories, Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. Have you read it? You can buy it at Amazon.com by clicking here.

We also love Brown Bear, Brown Bear and The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.





As I've mentioned before, The Jesus Storybook Bible is one of our very favorite books of Bible Stories for children. They all point you to Jesus. What are some of your bedtime story favorites?
