Hi there! After secluding ourselves from the world for two and a half days, Ruth and I have finished our updates, and the site is better than ever. All the links should work now, but if you find one that is broken, please contact us. Thanks for being patient with us, and welcome back!

Happy Washington’s Birthday

Today is George Washington’s birthday, and of course, we have a few books for the occasion. Check out Silver for General Washington for a great story about Valley Forge and the American Revolution, Meet George Washington for a quick and easy history, George Washingtion’s World for a very interesting look at what was happening worldwide, as well as in America, and George Washington’s Breakfast for a fun picture book.

Oz books

We all enjoy the original fourteen L. Frank Baum Oz books very much, and have them listed among our favorites. After L. Frank Baum died, Ruth Plumly Thompson began writing books about different adventures in Oz. She wrote one every year for a total of nineteen new Oz books. I have only read a few of them, but I haven’t enjoyed them as much as the originals. Things just don’t seem the same, along with several obvious differences, one, for example, being that L. Frank Baum’s “Nome King” became the “Gnome King.” Of course, no one knew the Oz characters as well as L. Frank Baum did, and his sense of humor and clever puns remain unparalled. However, I thought Ruth Plumly Thompson’s books deserved “honorable mention,” so here’s the complete list with links to Amazon.
