Christmas in the Barn by Margaret Wise Brown is on a 3.2 AR level. This picture book tells the story of Christmas. The text includes two people wondering into a barn and having a baby. However, the text never explicitly names the characters. I personally treasure this book, but I see it might be con...
A long-running favourite of my youth, I was inspired to re-read this when I saw the 2007 BBC version of this I decided to hunt up my copy to re-read. This is the story of three sisters, collected by a fossil hunter (GUM or Great Uncle Matthew) and left with his niece Sylvia (aka Garnie for Guardian)...

They were each orphaned separately--that is, they're not natural sisters--but n...
Almost certainly my favourite childhood novel. I read it and re-read it over and over again. My dream as a child was to be either a ballet dancer or an actress, so Ballet Shoes was perfect for me (as were other books by Noel Streatfeild, especially the Gemma series) and Lorna Hill's Sadlers Wells se...
Scary might be in the title, but the stories are far from scary. More like silly, or funny. There are also a few poems in this book as well. The stories in the book were good, I'm not sure which story/poem I liked the most though.
