The Secret Garden
By Frances Hodgson Burnett
This week's book was a book that our little princess and I have been reading together on the sofa. I have been having an amazing time with just the two of us at home. This summer was filled with the kids trying to kill each other and driving me slowly insane. Needless to say, it's been fun to have just my super chill calm baby girl and I. She would climb onto the couch and would listen intently to me reading all about the little children in the story. The book had illustrations on every page, so I do suppose that did help the cause.
I do have to admit that I had not thought about this book in about twenty years. I saw the film adaptation all the way back in 1993 and totally remember it being gorgeous, with the sets and gardens. I also remember kinda hating all the characters in the story as well. As an adult and a mother I still agree that the main characters are for the most part super whiney. If you know me, you know I don't tolerate whining,not even a little. I would still recommend reading this to your child, or for your child to read it.
