I know it's 1:14 a.m right now. It is quite late too. However, I would like to say something so special on this entry. When I was in Children's Literature class in community college, I learned about what's fairy tales are all about. About a lot of the stories in the textbook were very deep, nicely written, and have interesting characters. Not only the stories are good, but there are messages as well. The authors offered advices to the readers, so that nobody will be in danger. When I read the stories, I also learned about the languages; some of the stories can be difficult for readers to read. The best part of the class was I read the second book for The Chronicles of Narnia. The second book is The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. When I read that book, I got into the series. Even everyone knew about the series, I'm not going to give away the story. When I was assigned to answer the questions on my homework, that was very interesting. I learned about the morals as well. There was a critical review essay for the full-length children's book(chapter book). The book I wrote for the essay was Strawberry Girl. I wrote about how strong the book was, how real the event was, and how well developed characters were. Conflict and theme were included. Before I finished the essay, I had a lot of thoughts about why everyone should read Strawberry Girl as this is about the simple girl living in the farm in Florida. After critical review, I did the picture book as a final project of the class. The picture book I wrote and drew was Rockman: The Heroic Rescue. It's about Rockman is trying to save a human girl from Dr. Wily. If everyone are going to take Children's Literature class, this may encourage them to read books. This include their children as well. If I haven't taken the class, I wouldn't have read anything at all. I wouldn't have read Narnia either.

Hello Jessica,
Your list of quality children's books brings back memories of hours well-spent. I remember reading Strawberry Girl in grade 6, it used to be in every school and public library - I wonder if that is still the case? I think the illustrator was Garth Williams, who also illustrated the Little House books.
