I don't have my exact books, but I have collected vintage copies for my library. For me it was Walter Farley and The Black Stallion series or Jack London or Lassie Come Home. I loved animal stories as I wanted to be a veterinarian someday. Instead I became the Mother of 4, and that is sometimes equivalent to a zoo! Anne of Green Gables is also a favorite and the PBS series was wonderful. My children loved it, even the boys. Some stories pass the test of time. xoKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-69835412222120672292013-07-02T17:48:16.374-04:002013-07-02T17:48:16.374-04:00My brother (just turned 12) LOVES The Hardy Boys, ...My brother (just turned 12) LOVES The Hardy Boys, but he's a queer one, hahaha.
