Our old standbys include many titles by Mary Azarian, Tasha Tudor&#39;s childrens books, Elsa Beskow, Jan Brett and and I read LIttle House before bedtime. And many library books in between. Now that Autumn is slowly showing its signs I have been feeling like I am nesting I have noticed more books are being brought out to stay in the living room as the nights have been cooler. My thoughts are turning indoors these days on sewing knitting and organizing new seasonal baskets of books : )gardenmamahttp://gardenmama.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018393309086570045.post-20596480552215491112009-08-26T12:21:38.022-04:002009-08-26T12:21:38.022-04:00I love the Wrinkle in Time books...and I didn&#39;t know about Double Fudge!
