I need to rectify that.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01299610611688148134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371737332853765197.post-11100196397034107552011-01-25T19:02:36.317-05:002011-01-25T19:02:36.317-05:00Jan-

I think ...Thanks for joining in the fun this week. I think you have a fabulous list.<br /><br />Mrs. Frisbee and the Rats of NIHM is one of my favorites on your list. But I didn't read it until I was a mom. I also am a huge fan of where the Red Fern Grows, who isn't? My daughter, a fledgling teacher, reread it this year with her class which made me want to do the same.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog. Now for NEXT WEEK THE TOPIC IS: Top Ten Best Debut Books (of any year..just your favorite debut/"first from an author" books. If you want, you can focus on debuts of a specific year but it's open to debuts of any year).<br /><br />Guess we'll have to put our thinking caps for that one. I don't pay attention often if a book is an author's first.<br /><br />-Anne<br />HeadfullofbooksAnne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371737332853765197.post-96034995681642102011-01-25T17:30:47.365-05:002011-01-25T17:30:47.365-05:00+JMJ+

I am so grateful that I didn't miss them! <br /><br />On the other hand, if making my own list and reading those of others has taught me anything, it is that you win some and you lose some. ;-) <br /><br />We have <i>Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH</i> in common, by the way. Gosh, I want to kick myself when I think of all the times I passed it over because of the dumb lurid cover it had when I was kid. =(Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371737332853765197.post-12435403082357653252011-01-25T17:25:35.245-05:002011-01-25T17:25:35.245-05:00I just finished reading The Rats of Nimh

All of which I came to as an adult and because I am a teacher. Did not however, like The Indian in the Cupboard.
