Genevieve came to Connecticut from France. Helena came from California. The two became friends and often played together. Every day, when Helena was tired, her mother would pick her up and say, “I guess what you need is a little loving and a little hugging.” When Genevieve went home, she would ask her mother for “a little ‘ovin’ and a little ‘uggin.” Her mother thought Genevieve meant a little oven, so one day she takes her to different stores to shop for a little oven.
A pretty good book. At one point, Helena, who’s from California, says she chews in French, and Genevieve, who’s from France, says she chews in English. Hmm. Well, you can see our Book Tips page for tips on how to find out of print books. Enjoy!
A little cloud changes into different shapes.
A pretty good book. Another Eric Carle book with fun illustrations and a simple, but nice, story.
Anthea, Cyril, Robert, and Jane are back in a second book of adventures. This time, their mother buys a carpet, and when the children unroll it, an odd glowing egg falls out. Robert claims it and puts the egg on the mantle. Later, while the children are playing and waving tea-towels around, Robert’s knocks the egg into the fire and up from the flames rises the Phoenix! All the children are amazed, and even more so, when the Phoenix tells them that the carpet is a magic wishing carpet that will take them anywhere!
E. Nesbit is a great author. If you’ve read Five Children and It, you know that the children’s wishes never turn out the way they plan. It’s twelve chapters of wishes come true – but is that always a good thing?
Sylvie is “the oldest child,” Joey is “the oldest son,” Rufus is “the baby in the family,” but Jane is just Jane. So, Jane decides to become the middle Moffat.
This book is kind of hard to write a summary for. A lot of things happen in The Middle Moffat. This is the second book in the series about the Moffats. A pretty good book, in my opinion.
