I just found your blog from finding The Star That Always Stays on another website. I was THRILLED to find a vintage kidlit challenge! I have 8 grandkids that I do a bookclub with in the summer (I choose different books for each child and we go out to lunch after we’ve both read the book) and hubby and I have always wished there were some books like the ones WE read as kids. Like Danny Dunn! We have a grandson who is especially good with engineering stuff, and I just bought the Kindle version of Danny Dunn and the Homework Machine – he’s going to love it!! My husband’s favorite books from childhood are the Freddy the Pig books – I wonder if those are still in print?! I definitely will be following your blog!

For my series I chose B Is For Betsy By Carolyn Haywood. Betsy goes to school for the first time. She is scared but makes friends with Ellen.Betsy likes her teacher Miss Gray. Ellen and Betsy play a mock circus. For the summer vacation Ellen goes with Betsy and her family to Betsy’s grandmother’s farm. Betsy tells Ned who works on the farm that he is wrong,school is a lot of fun. This book and the entire series is quite enjoyable.
