trescuatrocinco

Chapter 3: I found the section on unexpected insights particularly interesting. I think when a book can make you think it's really good for you. I liked the passage from Charlotte's Rose (on page 26) about the Welsh woman and baptizing babies. It was really funny. Insights from children's books are sometimes the most funny ones.

Chapter 4: Illustrations are really important to books. I enjoyed looking at the examples they had in the book. I think the illustrations in Judith Viorst's Alexander series are really great for the stories as well.

Chapter 5: I like reading stories from years ago. It's interesting to see how things have changed and what messages books put out there for children.
