So, for my entertainment and you viewing (or reading, whatever) (dis)pleasure, I have decided to do a week-long series of book reviews of my favorite books when I was very young, from around 4 to 7.
Today, May the fifteenth, is a Sunday and it will continue 'till next Saturday, May the twenty-first.
The first four are Berenstain Bears and the next/last three are Junie B. Jones. I don't care for spoiler alerts because I usually read the thing even if I haven't read/seen the book/movie. But anyway, since I am not everyone who reads this.
P.S. How do you know I'm not on vacation, lugging all these books with me?
*SPOILER ALERT*
When I first read The Berenstain Bears Scouts and the Missing Merit Badges by Stan and Jan Berenstain, I loved it. It was a very good book, although it did seem odd that farm animals could talk. (I don't know why, the whole series revolves around the lives of two talking bears!) Apart from the fact that I thought Sister Bear and Brother Bear were a bit too dependent on farm animals, it was a very good read. I would have liked a bit more mystery, though. Why did they trust the animals so much? Since when are owls awake at night? Questions, questions, questions. No answers. I reckon they wrote the book for 5-6 year olds and kids that young wouldn't have thought of these questions. Book reviews for 25 page-long stories with huge writing and ginormous illustrations can't be very long, don't you think?
SMELLY SOCKS It is frightfully difficult to know much about the fairies, and almost the only thing known for certain is that there are fairies wherever there are children.
