Storytelling has changed a lot since then. :)ali crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023009704454279645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876524428745638996.post-60353209244172946362011-05-25T13:25:38.585-04:002011-05-25T13:25:38.585-04:00I am such a HUGE fan of PJ and had no idea she was...I am such a HUGE fan of PJ and had no idea she was a writer too! Wow. thanks for letting me know! I've been listening to PF since I was 14.

I'm thinking Princess Bride and Neverending Story to begin, with maybe some Anne McCaffrey when they get a bit older.<br /><br />As for bookstores, Shakespeare Co. in Paris ranks up there with my favorites, as does The Strand in NYC. But I love me any good used bookstore where you can find just the right book for a dollar.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961332983813359209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876524428745638996.post-70382974560699341302011-05-24T14:33:52.946-04:002011-05-24T14:33:52.946-04:00Oh, those look like great contests.

The ones that come to mind are Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel (or something like that) and The Toothpaste Millionaire. However, I recently read an MG novel from the 1970s that my friends had enjoyed as kids, and I was shocked by the anti-math bent, the all-male cast of characters, and the roaring stereotypes of smart people wearing glasses and the like. I'm sure before I shared anything with my kids that I would need to reread it to see what latent ideas are there.<br /><br />Rosie<br /><a href="http://eastforgreeneyes.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">East for Green Eyes</a>RosieChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911305246379355484noreply@blogger.com
