What a fun topic–am I right?? Who doesn’t love looking at, reading, enjoying books for young people! Here are some of the one’s I’ve found that I’d have loved at a younger age. Some are familiar to readers of this blog, hopefully a few will be surprises.
Toddler/Preschool me
Grumpy Cat
The Elementary School Years me
The Casson Family series by Hilary McKay
The Calpurnia Tate books
The Penderwicks series
The Traveling Cat Chronicles--My Mom would definitely have read this aloud to us
High School Me
I was a royal freak even then, so this would have been a good one.
ANYTHING by Julie Murphy, but especially Dumplin’
College and 20-Something me
I was a Kennedy-freak, too, thanks to my paternal grandmother’s Kennedy library.
I was a political science major.
And studied Russian and East European Studies
And was a political junkie.

Great list! None of these were available when I was young (’cause I’m SUPER old), but some of them I no doubt would have liked. Since my maiden name is Kennedy and people always asked me if I was related to JFK (I’m not), I maybe should have read up on him and his family!
Happy TTT!

I love Calpurnia Tate so much! I must not have gotten far enough back in my reviews to think of putting her on my list. And Grumpy Cat as a Little Golden Book? Yes, please. Great list!

Oh man. I did not know there was a Gumpy Cat LGB; that’s amazing.
Also have not heard of Calpurnia Tate, but upon looking it up i agree, I think I would have enjoyed it at that age.

There are the first two “real” Calpurnia Tate books and now a sort-of cheesy series of her. The Grumpy Cat book is cool! Thanks for reading.
