Summary: The Magic of Being Little Shines Through
Review: Another classic children's story, written by one of the most loved and respected children's authors of all time. This story is simple, sweet, and easily understood by the youngest of children. It tells about a young girl who just loves being little because of all the things she can do. The endearing text revolves around the girl's view of her world and how she is lucky because she is small enough to sit under the dining room table, jump in piles of autumn leaves, and skip when she feels joy. A timeless classic that will warm your heart again and again~~!

Summary: Old fashioned charm
Review: This book is extremely warm, cozy, and charming. The relationship that the little girl shares with her mother is precious, and of a nature that harkens back to the first half of the 20th Century. Frankly, I miss it. The story is basically a converation between mother and daughter, a very respectful and sincere communication, whereby the little girl talks about simple joys that children share with no one else. The mother listens intently and encourages her child in conversation. These types of stories are so real, so without pretense, and very basic, slice-of-life in nature; unfortunately, they're somewhat hard to find!! The illustrations are, again, slice-of-life, nothing fantastic or overly imaginative, adding to the straightforward, wholesomeness of the story. Charlotte Z. seems to specialize in books about mothers and daughters. I was raised on her stories and I'm glad they're still in print so that I can share with my daughter!

Summary: The joy of mothering your daughter
Review: This is one of those rare books that comes into your heart and helps it to sing about the joys of life. While it is considered a "children's book", it is in fact a story that is written for children but is really better savored by mother and daughter together. After all, can a child truly appreciate the joy of being little without the contrast of what it is like to be big? My daughter and I cuddle together and she reads this book to me over and over. As a gift, it is without equal to any new mother of a little girl. Liking to be little is all about liking how it all turns out.
