I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Billie Kelpin. She is the author of Lucky, the Left Pawed Puppy. Have you ever felt like you didn’t quite fit in? Well then this story will tug at your heart strings. Lucky, the Left Pawed Puppy (written by Billie Kelpin and illustrated by Julie Parker) is an adorable story about a little lefty who just can’t seem to get things right.
Ramona’s World! If you have read the Ramona series then you know this book is a great continuation of Ramona’s journey through childhood. It shows her at the age where we first met Beezus. It is fun to compare the two girls at the ripe old age of nine!
Beverly Cleary? Yes please! Ramona Quimby, Ellen Tebbits, Henry Huggins, Ralph S. Mouse, Otis Spofford, and so many more. Raise your hand if you read one of these gems while you were growing up! I know I read more than one of them! Now I have the pleasure of reading them with my daughter.
A love of reading is something that can be grown starting from the time your kids are in your belly. I firmly believe this. I started reading to each of mine before they were even born and have continued to read to them as they are growing.
