I don't care what a child reads-- even Harry Potter which I don't care for myself -- just as long as they read! My children did not have Dick and Jane as they were old fashioned by then but they still loved to read because they had parents who loved to read and bought them books and took them to the library often.Pauliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122954008777713198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811197833423548455.post-13714882442982801622010-10-27T19:38:27.897+02:002010-10-27T19:38:27.897+02:00I thought those vintage illustrations were lovely....I thought those vintage illustrations were lovely.

From the photos, it looks like the illustrations were beautiful. I think it's a shame when they discard something, saying it's old fashion or out of date. Also I love our header photo. Looks so homey.
