If you wore this and a friend asked, what book would you talk about?
Miss Rumphius ~ written and illustrated by Barbara Cooney, 1982, children's picture book, 32 pages, 10/10
I've written about this book several times, because it's one of my favorites. In 2009, I shared that it was one of my fifteen favorite books. Today, I'm simply reporting that I borrowed it from my local library and have read it again. I'm sure you are not surprised that I still rate it 10/10.
Books allow us to experience other lives. Like reading about Madeleine L'Engle, one of my favorite authors, as seen through the eyes of her granddaughters. They are also good writers, as you can see by the 9/10 rating that I gave the book.

Although I love the Harry Potter books, I'll go with those as my "the book was better." So much wonderful detail was left out of the movies. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bonnie, One of the few movies that I've ever seen that in my opinion was as good as the book was "The Book Thief". Although it was a hard book to read and an even harder movie to watch because it was about the author's grandmother living in Europe during WW Two.
ReplyDeleteI'd say that for me the vast majority of books are better than their movies.
ReplyDeleteThe library saved me during the pandemic. I was always able to get books, either real or electronic.
I love Miss Rumphius, too.
The book is almost always better than the movie, so much detail and subtlety is lost usually.
