The version I read is a children's book, but I thought it helped give me a feel for the "real" story. Yep, I love reading and reviewing children's books because it's nice to sit back and read something just for the sake of beauty and for the mental break from longer works. I miss having little ones to read to. Probably ought to get a job teaching preschool or something similar.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-5260894485246367332009-12-02T14:10:12.699-06:002009-12-02T14:10:12.699-06:00Enjoyed the post...I too have never read the class...Enjoyed the post...I too have never read the classic book (bad, Insatiable Reader) but I have seen the movie enough times that I should have. **jots on seek out list** The illustrations look wonderful too! Although I am not necessarily the age group they were aiming for, I think picture books at any age are a welcome break from heavier tales.

Now that I've read the condensed Wizard of Oz, I know I want to read the full-length novel. It was much more fun than I expected.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-90556109901033456722009-12-01T10:48:13.750-06:002009-12-01T10:48:13.750-06:00I am about to pick up The Nutcracker which is a co...I am about to pick up The Nutcracker which is a condensed version as well.
