Happy Friday

 

     Today I am going to review a classic children's book and a favorite series of books for the adults.  I am sure you would enjoy both.  Hope  you have a wonderful weekend and share a good book with a child or loved one. :)

Swiss Family Robinson

by

Johann Wyss

 

 

  Shipwrecked and deserted by the crew of the ship they are traveling on, the Robinson family members find that they must learn to fend for themselves.  Upon reaching land, they learn that the island on which they are stranded has giant fig trees, wild animals and hidden caves.  The family sets up a home in the trees (ie a huge tree house) They have many exciting adventures living off the land. 

     Have you seen the movie Swiss Family Robinson?  I love the book and the movie.  Children would love hearing the story and all the excitement that the family has living on the island.  Then after reading the book you could let them watch the movie so that the book really comes to life.  A great classic book that boys and girls both would enjoy.  I will preview a classic every chance I get.  I believe our children need to read the classics.

A Taste of Chicken Soup to Inspire a Woman's Soul

by

Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Stephanie Marston

 

This is a shortened version of the bigger Chicken Soup for the SOul books.  I love these books.  I have in my personal library at least 10 of them.  I read my Christmas one every December.  They have great true stories to inspire and help us through the daily life we lead. This book is only 86 pages but filled with several great true stories.  Pick up one of the books  to enjoy during the fall .  You will be inspired and uplifted.  I love these books. Check them out at your library or bookstore.  They also make great gifts.
