"Francis Poletti writes books for children, but her stories are for everyone. They’re stories about women in history who were the first to achieve something, and what they had to battle against at that time, and how they preserved and pushed through and ended up achieving their dreams. “The Girl Who Ran,” is about a young heroine who is told that women can’t run, that running is against the rules, but she does it anyway."

Helen McCrory recommended The Necklace and Other Short Stories in Books (curated)

"I tell these as goodnight stories to my children when we are on the train, or going somewhere at night. “The Necklace,” is particularly wonderful. I bought these at Shakespeare & Co., where they always had contemporary writers staying above the shop, and they’d solicit recommendations from them. This was one of them. It’s interesting what sticks with you. I read many classics as a child, but these are the ones that linger."

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Where the Wild Things Are in Books

Oct 7, 2020

When Maurice Sendak passed away, I thought it would be only appropriate to review what arguably, is his best children's book. "Where the Wild Things Are" captured the hearts of so many people - both young and old. It is so much loved that they had to make a movie out of it (unfortunately). You can read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/07/18/wild-and-crazy-love-for-children/

Don't waste your time

There is not too much I can say about this except it's just plain awful. I tried to watch this twice but fell asleep both times. Same old tired plot. Von Struckers children steals a virus that can destroy the country and they have to be stopped. Bottom line....this movie was terrible. It would be a waste of your life to watch this one
