Still a child at heart...at least for good books.


Memories of a Bookbat
by Kathryn Laskey


If you have Harriet The Spy on your all-time favorite book list, you should have this on there, too.  I'm not comparing the two--other than the age and sex of the protagonist, the books are completely different--but rather, my reaction to them.  I read Harriet over and over, re-read as an adult, and would still be reading it now if I hadn't practically memorized the whole thing.


If I'd come upon Bookbat at the same age, 10 or so, I'd have done the same.  (might still) And it might have induced me to seek out and explore some of the books she mentions in here.
