VideoPro   10 #101 Posted May 11, 2011 Everything by Dr. Suess. Wonderful stories and fantastic characters. My daughter leaned to read with my old collection.  Enid Blyton was seen as a thieving, jackbooted racist thug for stealing the Br'er Rabbit stories from black folk and claiming them as her own. I hope the steely toed Victorian cow is burning in hell for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I hope the steely toed Victorian cow is burning in hell for that.  You've reminded me of the Br'er Rabbit stories. They were great, although I did get into bother once when I asked was a Coon was, as in Br'er Coon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
LitleMermaid   10 #103 Posted May 12, 2011 What a superb book with brilliant illustration. I read this book to my kids so many times and it never got boring for any of us. Now wondering where it got to, a trip to the loft is most definitely in order  Definitely worth a loft trip; when my mum gave me my copy I got all sentimental!  Yeah the illustrations were excellent-the ones of Little Bear messing around standing on his head and doing roly polys in bed used to make me howl with laughter when I was little. Still have the ability to make me chuckle aged 23! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Godzilla   10 #106 Posted May 12, 2011 I remember my teacher, in J4, reading the class a very touching book called "The Silver Sword", by Ian Serraillier. It was set in Warsaw, during and immediately after the second-world war, and touches on refugees, and families being separated.  I remember this story being serialised on children's TV in the 50s, and I think a young Melvin Hayes had a part. We didn't have a TV at that time and would go to my grandma's to watch it on a Sunday afternoon. It always stuck in my mind.
