The Tenth Day of Christmas
On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me...classics.
Are you still here? Phew! Today is supposed to be our last day on Earth. Today's impending doom inspired me to suggest Comet in Moominland, and I guess I needed a category to go along with that so I went for obscure classics! These books have returned to bookshelves in stores everywhere and are just as wonderful as we remember. Both were recommended to me by parents of students and I am so thrilled to have read them.
Comet in Moominland by Tove Jansson
Moomintroll is a white, hippo looking creature. He lives in Moominland. He and his pal Sniff are out for a walk when they see a picture in a cave predicting that a comet will crash into Moominland and destroy it. They decide they need to venture off to find the observatory in the Lonely Mountains to ask the Professors if this is true. Along the way, they come across many adventures and plenty of danger! Does the comet hit Moominland? Well, I'll let you know tomorrow!
The Freddy Anniversary Collection by Walter R. Brooks, illustrated by Kurt Weiss
The Freddy books were originally published between 1927 and 1956. The stories revolve around Freddy, a pig on the Bean farm in rural New York State. The animals and farmers round out the cast of these happy stories that would make great bed time read alouds. Read along as Freddy leads the farm on adventures to Florida, the North Pole, and as a detective. Anyone who is a fan of Winnie the Pooh, Charlotte's Web, or Babe the Gallant Pig (other great classics) will welcome Freddy into their family as a new hero!
