Pre-Reader Books
 | The Jingle Book | When I find a book that makes me laugh out loud, I can't wait to share it. And even more so, when it is a book that little people will delight in as well as their parents. |
 | Sammie & Susie Littletail | Almost everyone has heard of the board game, "Uncle Wiggily" but few people are acquainted with the charming book that began his adventures. |
 | Raggedy Ann & Andy Stories | When looking for old treasures, I like to balance those that are definitely "girl" books with an equal number of those that can be seen as "boy" books, and of course, as many as I can find that will appeal to both. |
 | Slumber-Town Tales Vol. 1 | Stories about Grunty pig, Henrietta Hen, Miss Kitty Cat, and Old Dog Spot -- what fun these tiny tales are! |
Youth Books
| Seven Little Australians | G'day Mate! Don't you just love mischievous little ankle biters? No, not galoots, but high-spirited, energetic, real tykes who can cause a kafuffle and entertain you with their antics? |
| Just David | If you're going to fall in love with just one book, this one may be it. Completely encouraging, thoroughly positive, definitely inspiring, and filled with music that will capture your heart and soul, this is one of my special favorites. |
 | Five Little Peppers and How They Grew | So many people, upon hearing that we were doing this book, have said, "Oh! I grew up on the Five Little Peppers!" Having read it years ago, I count myself among their number. |
 | A Little Princess | Kids and adults alike will be inspired by Sara's use of imagination to reshape the world around her. Holding her head high, treating everyone with kindness and dignity, never whining at the difficulties of life, and acting like a princess |
Teen Books
 | Daddy-Long-Legs | This book is another "gem" from my youth and we truly hope that teens today will find it just as charming as we have. Some know it as an old movie (1955 and starring Fred Astaire) but the book is infinitely better! |
 | Beyond Rope and Fence | While most people will not have heard of this book or this author, it is perfect for the horse lovers among us. Hearing stories about Queen, a foal when we first meet and a seasoned leader of a herd by book's end, brings images of the wide open Alberta prairie to the mind's eye. |
 | A Little Bush Maid | Avago at this delightful book from Down Under that is a beaut! It sure gives a fair dinkum taste of life in the Out Back before the turn of the century. A good read for girls, they will love eleven year-old Norah, who has no mum but who lives with her father and older brother, Jim. |
 | Nobody's Boy | If you're looking for a heartwarming tale, then this is it! With so many interesting elements, from abandoned babies to performing dogs to mine disasters, this book keeps you wondering if the story can possibly get any more complicated. |
Grown-Up Books
 | Lad: A Dog | This is one book I cannot read without a full box of tissues nearby. Don't even think of starting it without at least a handkerchief. Thankfully the tears result in a smile at the happy endings of each chapter and I guarantee that you will fall in love with this brave-hearted canine. |
 | The Haunted Bookshop | Love mysteries? Enjoy suspense? Frequent book stores? Then this is the perfect story for you! It has everything that an avid mystery aficionado would crave: stolen books, break ins, kidnap plots, a mysterious suitcase, stealthy characters and bombs. |
 | The Circular Staircase | What fun! Every now and then I just have to recommend a book that is solely for enjoyment. No big moral here, no lessons to be learned, no philosophies to adopt. Instead, the charming but eccentric characters, the plot twists... |
 | Greyfriar's Bobby | Written by Eleanor Atkinson, American author, journalist, and teacher in 1912, Greyfriar's Bobby tells the fictionalized story of a little Skye Terrier who diligently guarded the grave of his master for fourteen years after his death. |
Nostalgic Books
 | Hospital Sketches | Don't you just love it when an author tells a story in such a way that you feel like she is a dear friend? Miss Alcott displays that very elusive talent in this book. You can almost 'see' the army camp, the wounded soldiers, and the pained faces that tell what is often their last words to this young, volunteer army nurse. |
 | Sergeant York and His People | What a story this is! Sergent York was an underprivileged and undereducated conscript during WW I, who showed remarkable responsibility, courage, and sharp-shooting skill during his army career. |
 | Up From Slavery | This book is pure inspiration! I'm always delighted to suggest a book that will lift you up and encourage your socks off. If you are wondering why life is hard or you're discouraged with the world, meeting Dr. Washington and listening to his story will warm your heart down to your tootsies. |
“Creative ideas flourish best in a shop which preserves some spirit of fun.
Nobody is in business for fun, but that does not mean
there cannot be fun in business.”
there cannot be fun in business.”
