November Book #3

Book: Matchless by Gregory Maguire
Age-range: 0 and up

Do you find the Hans Christian Andersen story of The Little Match Girl depressing? Read this. It makes the story seem so much happier (although the little girl still dies). I had heard of this book before, but I didn't realize that it had been written to be read aloud on NPR. I would love to hear the original reading Gregory Maguire did. This is a great little Christmas story, although I still think it's pretty sad.

Happy reading!

December Book #3

Book: What-the-Dickens by Gregory Maguire

Cute, but I expected more from the author of Wicked.
