I haven’t thought about Beverly Cleary books in ages!!!! What a treat to read this post and get the chance to revisit some of my fav childhood books! I credit my Mother with endowing me with my love of reading. She always read to me and my sister, I would always see her reading herself and it set a great example for me. Plus she worked part time in our community Library

Ahhhh (sniff). Reading this, I feel warmed. It is heartfelt, divine. Maybe because I’m a Children’s Librarian, too, and sat for many of my young years at the feet of librarians…Thank you for this brilliant post.

It sounds like you were incredibly lucky to have her as a teacher! And I sure wish you could "reveal" her identity and the books she wrote. She sounds so amazing! .-= Jenners´s last blog ..Show Me 5 Saturday: The Chosen by Chaim Potok =-.

Miss F. sounds great! My elementary librarians were unmemorable but I still remember that being my favorite place to be. I would rather have spent my recess time in the library. It's wonderful that she's gone on to lead such a productive life but what a loss for all of the young children that didn't get from her what you got. .-= Lisa´s last blog .."Heart West: True Stories of Mail-Order Brides on the Frontier" =-.

You were definitely lucky to have a Ms F in your life. Even though you were raised in a reading family, it is a gift to have been exposed to other enthusiastic readers. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Weekend Cooking: Review: What to Cook . . . by Arthur Schwartz =-.
