A Little Reminder...

A WONDERFUL (Pre)TWEEN READ...

Lilley-Kate LOVES... LOVES LOVES LOVES to read...

While we were at the grocery store we stopped to check out the "Clearance Carts" in the back corner of the store...

And we found THIS GEM amongst all the books piled in a "Clearance Book Cart"...  We couldn't resist the beautifully illustrated cover and title...

STRAWBERRY HILL by MARY ANN HOBERMAN

It's the wonderful story of a Jewish girl named ALICE (although she prefers to be called "Alli") who moves due to her father's work to a new neighborhood during the Depression... the friends she leaves behind in her old neighborhood and the new friends she makes... and the lessons she learns during her 4th grade year in school...

It took ME all of 2 days to read...

I like to read some of the books that Lilley-Kate reads... she enjoys them so much... and we have fun talking about the stories, our favorite parts, the different characters, lessons in the stories...kinda our own little "book club"... LOL

If you have an avid reader going into 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this as a Summer Read!!!!
