Baby Books for Babies: An Update

Current list of childhood books I’ve re-read:

  • Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret (Judy Blume)
  • The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (Barbara Robinson)
  • Holes (Louis Sachar)
  • A Wrinkle in Time (Madeline L’Engle)
  • An embarrassingly large number of Babysitters Club books

I actually just finished reading Holes yesterday, and that book is even better than I remember it. It’s surprisingly…intricate?…for a kid’s book. It’s not hard to read or anything like that, but everything ties together in more ways than you typically see in a lot of kid’s books. I also really like Sachar’s writing style and characters; I actually bought a physical copy of his Sixth Grade Secrets because I used to love that book as a kid. So if you haven’t read Holes, read it!

A Wrinkle in Time was a disappointment. It wasn’t nearly as good as I remember it being.

Now I need to figure out what to read next!
