But my God, have I read that book about 12 times and I could read it again and again. Love it!Medio Pomelohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07635964016795709026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381660091399332098.post-83592822771627388662008-10-30T10:23:00.000+00:002008-10-30T10:23:00.000+00:00@ Liza - I ♥ Meg too.

She's a writing machine!<br><br><b>@ Daisy - </b>I never read Ballet Shoes, but I did see the TV production of it with Emma Watson ... the book will probably be *much* better! And I ♥♥♥ the Famous Five - some of my family live near where "Kirren" actually is. <br><br><b>@ Emma - </b>Thank you for your luck for the 60K (I need it!). I'd forgotten all about The Sheep-Pig as well! But, that actually reminds of the James Herriott picture books - I remember reading those too!<br><br><b>@ Paula - </b>Your ex will be happy there's a film coming out then! Flossie is ringing a bell, but I'm not entirely sure if I read her or not! Sounds fab though!<br><br><b>@ Expensive Mistakes and Cheap Thrills - </b>Ah, you see, I was never a major fan of The Faraway Tree. I read them, but my heart belonged to other Blyton creations! And yes, I recall "The Indian in the Cupboard" too! :0)<br><br><b>@ Medio Pomelo - </b>Oh, I loved Babar as well! I can't believe I forgot to mention Babar!<br><br><b>@ Matt - </b>Do you know, I never liked Catcher in the Rye, but then again, a lot of people don't like my favourite books. :0)Ellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11191500965493749500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381660091399332098.post-62764436923864617242008-10-28T22:02:00.000+00:002008-10-28T22:02:00.000+00:00Cathcher in the Rye was and still is, my favorite ...Cathcher in the Rye was and still is, my favorite book.<br><br>Holden was arguable the best fictional character ever created.<br><br>Ever.<br><br>Just my opinion though.Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00976360898085871173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381660091399332098.post-37462925423010383422008-10-28T18:55:00.000+00:002008-10-28T18:55:00.000+00:00Talking about French cartoons Babar the Elephant c...Talking about French cartoons Babar the Elephant comes to my mind.

Did you read her? She was a young girl who tried on this fur coat which turned her into a teenager - and then she went out and had grown up fun as her alter ego.

But I have to say the Colonel is not a million miles away from resembling him a little!!! I really loved Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfield, the Famous Five obv, and Just William. Quite old fashioned I now realise!!
