Wednesday Book

Well. I'm still reading Cathedral of the Sea by Idelfonses Falcones. It's a long book. I'm almost done, and I don't think it's going to end well. To the author's credit, it doesn't appear to be one of those sagas where everything turns out beautifully for the hero.

It's been snowing at Holden, so I was thinking about snow books. Snow Treasure by Marie McSwigan came to mind. It was one of my favorite books in elementary school. It's about Norwegian children in occupied Norway in World War II who secretly transport gold bullion in their sleds as they play right under the nose of the Nazis. It's a great story - I've read it many times, including once a couple years ago. Sheryl Schmeling sent a very funny picture about swine flu which also made me think of rereading children's books. Here's the picture:

Poor Piglet! But it made me think of reading the Winnie the Pooh stories. So this week I hope you'll think of some favorite childrens books and take them out and read them again. Comment on this post and let us all know which ones you really like.

Happy reading!
