E.B. White

As an adult you tend to forget how powerful children's literature can be. In the last few weeks Ivy and I have read Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little. Ivy loved them both, although the antics of Stuart were her favorite. It also contained a picture per page, a big help when you are four! What I love about E.B. White is that his language is beautiful and he is not afraid to use adult vocabulary. Ivy did not even blink an eye.

Favorite lines that made Ivy laugh and laugh:

"Thith thtuff thticks in my mouth, " complained the rat. 

"If 'oo 'on't 'ocate a 'ird in 'entrak 'ark, 'ake a 'ew 'ork 'ew 'aven & 'artford 'ailway 'n 'ook in 'onnecticut."

Thoughts for you:

“Why did you do all this for me?' he asked. 'I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you.' 'You have been my friend,' replied Charlotte. 'That in itself is a tremendous thing.”
