Some books are like old friends. It doesn&#8217;t matter where you left off, or how long it&#8217;s been, you fall right back into friendship as soon as you meet up. Ella Enchanted is one of my favorite books. I can still remember sighting it <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/05/ella-enchanted/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

This is a really cute book, best for younger readers. Disney&#8217;s new Rapunzel movie, Tangled, is coming out in a year or so, making this a timely choice. It&#8217;s told in diary form, which allows the kids to speak like kids.
Rapunzel has grown up with her loving parents, who make <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/04/rapunzel-the-one-with-the-hair/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been wanting to read this for a long while, but never enough to get around to buying it. Luckily, my bestie had a copy she let me borrow. Very, very glad I got to read it at last.

I want to talk about this book in two capacities&#8211;as a story, and as a representation of South Africa. My bestie gave it to me for Xmas, and it looks like a pretty rare find to me. I had no idea there were kids books about SA in 1989, when <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/02/beyond-safe-boundaries/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

A really adorable book. Do not write it off because of the cutesy word, adorable. It&#8217;s a very serious book. I think I read it onceuponatimeago because it seemed quite familiar, but I think I was too young for it at the time.

It took a little while for me to notice that my RSS feed had stopped updating&#8230; and that Thorn really had gone on hiatus/retired. Thorn was a labor of love for its artist, an attempt to get syndicated, and I really wish it had.

You may know of Ballet Shoes because the BBC has turned it into a movie with Emma Watson (aka Hermione). Like Harry Potter, that movie is based on a book. Unlike Potter, Ballet Shoes is OLD. It dates back to the 1930s. My copy is from 1958.

I totally missed the boat on this one. It&#8217;s a real shame, because I think I would have quite liked it at the time it was published, and I was just ten years old. At 22, I&#8217;m much more critical of some things, and less easy to impress in other <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2008/08/the-golden-compasses/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
