Favorite Authors & Books #4 / Classics Pt. 1

    I think one of the best types of books are the ones dubbed "kid's book" yet are still entertaining enough to hold the attention of a bit older reader, like myself. These books, many of whom have found a spot in history's hall of classics, are great for pulling off the shelf both when you want to read in your head and when your audience includes a young group of eager listeners. There are a few I still appreciate, and will continue to appreciate, even if they are considered for little kids. 

   The first classic I want to mention is The Cricket in Times Square.

   I love this book. It's so fun and engaging (hey, that's probably why it got a Newbery Honor!), and I do not find it boring. This opinion certainly can differ from person to person, and I agree some people would find it boring, but I myself really like this book! So happy to have it on my bookshelf.

   It follows the adventures of Tucker Mouse, Harry Cat, and Chester Cricket --who becomes a famous musician due to his musical talent-- in Times Square.

Note: I hope to do more parts of this "classics" post. Please tell me below in the comments if you think that sounds interesting enough. I don't want to be posting things that are dull!

Oh, and I got a new "signature."
