I was at my doctor's office yesterday and noticed this book. I was strangely happy that the Serendipity books are still around, and so I read this one. While it doesn't match the greatness that is Serendipity, it was still pretty good.Leo the Lop has ears that are strange - or are they - and the boo...

My note on this book says: Reminds me of the Mrs Piggle-Wiggle books but slightly less absurd. So take that as you will.

A heavy subject wrapped up in a way that kids can understand.

Fits my idea of a quintessential Serendipity book: fantastic land, beautiful creatures, moral at the end (not as heavy-handed as some…).

I feel like the intent behind this one is good, but the repetition that being handicapped is only a state of mind doesn’t sound great? I mean, the story could have hit harder on the other animals’ prejudice towards Fanny than the fact that she has three legs?

Conflates skinny-ness with beauty and health.

Great book to be sure your child understands when it is okay to say no. That their body is their own. It explains the balance of listening to adults and respecting yourself. Can be a heavy discussion topic so best to avoid as a bedtime read the first time through.

I've been trying out Open Library, and this was the book I used to test out Open Library PDFs. I'm not a fan of PDF e-books, so I figured shorter was better. I chose Misty Morgan because I remembered having it and other Serendipity children's books when I was younger.Misty Morgan is about a workahol...

Some of my favorite books from early childhood...basic lessons on how to be a decent person featuring unicorns, sea monsters, sheep, baby goats, and bunnies. They give me the warmest fuzziest feels, plus the illustrations are awesome!
