Hi again, I just loved this as a retired elementary teacher, and you talked about some of my favorite books! And I LOVE it when you have a long video! The longer the better ! The only problem is I want to buy all the pretty versions of books you show! 😊
H Cassandra! Oh thank you so much for saying that! I have even been thinking I should break these up into two videos but I really feel it will lose its momentum that way, so I am so glad you enjoy them and it makes me so happy to hear that you dont mind the length! 🍀💚
I don’t mind longer videos. I get lost in the wonderful information you share. It’s fun to see your followers growing. I feel like I got in from the start, so I feel proud for you 😊
Oh thank you so much!! What a wonderful thing to say! I was actually looking at my past videos just yesterday and noticed all your comments from my earlier videos. I'm so happy you are here and are part of this journey!!!💕💞
Our daffodils are starting to come up and the weather is getting a bit warmer - it makes me feel spring is really coming. I love The Invention of Hugo Cabret - so good and I learned some things too.
The daffodils at my son's school are coming up but nothing yet in my garden. Last year it wasn't until early April that I noticed them but this year we are having an early spring so hopefully soon. I planted a ton last autumn so I am super excited! Oh my yes...Hugo is really, really great! 🍀💚
Hi!!! It is so great! Have you listened to E.B, White himself read the audio version? What an amazing voice that man has! I am so glad you enjoyed this video! 🍀💚
Your videos always make me want to buy more books! I really should re-read Mary Poppins. I think because it was a collection of stand alone short stories contributed to me having a hard time really getting into it. I always love the cozy vibes of your video 😊
Thank you, Laura! There are just so many books to read though, and so little time lol!!! I love the vibe of your videos too....and have really enjoyed watching your channel grow and progress! It's wonderful! ☘
I know right? I kinda felt bad using the middle grade march tag because I read so much already in the way of children's literature! Thank you for watching and commenting!!!🌷
This is such a lovely video and you mentioned a number of books I have never even heard of but now really want to read. You have a very soothing style and I love that.
Thank you so much Jen for your kind comment! i think you have that soothing quality as well, and I have learned of quite a few books through your channel too!!!💞
Awe, Thank you for thanking us, Heather. ❤ Love your channel and your BookTube friendship. 😊 I will definitely check out the Anne of Green Gables graphic novel! I agree with you on de-Disney-fying (although I love Vintage Disney). I’m not sure if it’s accurate, but my son and I loved the movie Saving Mr. Banks, as it gave me an appreciation for the backstory of a crabby PL Travers. As they say, “If it isn’t true, it should be.” PS. Watched Murder She Wrote last night and thought of your opening theme. Have a lovely weekend!
Hi Celeste!! It is so great being a part of this! I feel very much the same way about your channel! I also love Disney both new and vintage! Yeah they are so good at what they do that it takes over!! ha ha! Laura over at @whythebookwins that I spoke of actually did a video on just that subject as well (P.L Travers and Disney) which I found very interesting. Have a lovely weekend too! ☘💚
Love all your different illustrated versions! 😮 So many favorites! ♥️ I have Milo Winter’s Aesop and maybe another. But I haven’t seen the one’s you have! 😮😅 Velveteen Rabbit! 😭♥️ Paddle to the Sea is an Absolute favorite here.
Hi!!! I really want to get the Aesop Milo Winter, the Don Daily and especially that new version by Robert Ingpen which looks stunning! We just read Paddle and absolutely loved it! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! Have a lovely day!💚
New here and loved this episode. I have an autistic grandson and he is very obsessive over certain books so it’s hard to vary and bring in these beauties. Thank you so much 😊
Hi! Welcome!!! My son is very into lists and following a system, and it is one of the reasons that I make these book lists. I have more coming! It takes us about 3 months to get through a list though! Thank you so much for commenting and for watching and your kind words!🌷
I am so happy! It brings me such happiness to show all the beautiful illustrated versions out there and to introduce readers to them!!! Thank you so much!!!!@@zena-knittingbeans7973 🌷
Hi Mom!!!! Well hopefully you will see Mr. Skunk when you come to visit. I'll take you out there to the reserve. Golden eagles have been coming there recently. Just haven't been able to get them on camera well enough yet. That otter and mink sighting was so lucky!☘ Love you!
Just found your channel! Am reading the marry poppins series! It’s a reread and I’m having fun. But I also wanted to do a video comparing the book and movie!
Hi Friends! Thank you again everyone for watching this video, and to all my subscribers thank you! Happy Saint Paddys Day tomorrow!!!☘ I noticed that I mis-spelled Holling Clancy Holling's name on screen...sorry about that! I think having at least one mistake is just going to be my modus operandi and I'm going to lean into it! I hope you all have a lovely weekend!!!💚
I just finished reading Aesops Fables! I love the Ward edition! Chris Dunn’s Wind in the Willows is my favorite edition.♥️ Secret Garden is definitely a boy AND girl story! My son loved it just as much as my girls🤗 I have that edition of VR in hardcover. It was a gift to myself for Christmas a few years ago. Holling Clancy Holling books never became endeared- we always liked the story, but the style of writing didn’t capture us. The mindset of domesticating wild animals makes me sad & angry, but in the case of saving them from death or bullying it’s more palatable. It would make me more sad to not help in those cases. “Trumpet” has always been my favorite White novel. 🥰
I recently discovered you through one of your comments on Miranda Mills' channel. I'm really enjoying your videos, I love old book illustrations and have a big collection too. I didn't like Mary Poppins either, maybe I'll give it another read as you suggested.
Hi!!! Oh I love Miranda so much! I've been following her channel for years...she and Donna are so lovely! Thank you for checking me out and watching my videos!! On the Mary Poppins...no guarantee but the second time I read it, it struck me in a different way that I cant even explain...like its magic was hidden from me the first time around. If you do read it, let me know as I would love to know if anyone else has this experience. A fellow illustrated book collector! Who are your favorite illustrators?
@@WaterBearReads I will let you know how it goes 😊 I have Mary Poppins Returns too, but yet to read it. I absolutely love Eloise Wilkins who did a lot of Little Golden Books. Also Arthur Rackham is a favourite, love his Alice in Wonderland.
Yes I know her! I used to read "We Like Kindergarten"! It was one of those memorable books from my childhood!I love Arthur Rackham's work too!@@lisac1619
@@WaterBearReadsYes, that is one of my favourites! I always pick up a copy of We Like Kindergarten when I see them in secondhand shops, no matter how beat up the book is 😅♥️
