I've been doing ThrowbackThursdays for a while but I noticed that I wrote a lot of reviews in a short time when I first started. So, I post more than one Throwback every week. These are my reviews from April 2013.
Berenstain, Stan and Jan "The Berenstain Bears" - 1962ff.
My kids loved the Berenstain Bears. Not only was it a "normal" family, the characters just happened to be bears, but it was a funny family. They live in a lovely tree house, and there are hundred different books with all kinds of subjects, anything that can happen in a child's life must have their own book.
King-Smith, Dick "The Hodgeheg" and "King Max the Last" - 1995
Another favourite of my boys, the adventures of Max the hedgehog who tries to save his family and wants to find a safe place to cross the road. He gets hit and from now on jumbles all the letters, so he is a hodgeheg instead of a hedgehog.Kingsolver, Barbara "Flight Behaviour" - 2012
Barbara Kingsolver brings the impact of environmental pollution, of climate change to the most rural area you can imagine, to a part where people think if they don't pay attention to the big bad world, nothing bad is going to happen to them.

Lamb, Christina "The Africa House: The True Story of an English Gentleman and His African Dream" - 1999
This biography is about Sir Stewart Gore-Brown, someone I had never heard about in my life. And still, his life is interesting and the book was captivating.

Palma, Félix J. "The Map of Time" (E: El mapa del tiempo) - 2008
This novel is based on "The Time Machine. It's the first time I really enjoyed a book about time travel, usually that is not my type of thing. Some reasons might be the time and place this is happening, I absolutely love Victorian and pre-Victorian England, the fact that there is a book background ... or maybe because I had the feeling that the author does not really believe in time travel, either, but had a lot of fun writing this story.

Tremain, Rose "Music & Silence" - 1999
This can almost be called a saga, so much is in this story of the Danish court in the 17th century.
That cover of King Max the Last is SO cute! :D
ReplyDeleteAs is the book, Lark. Such a beautiful story for the Kids. I would read The Hodgeheg first, though.
