THE BIG TIDY UP NORAH SMARIDGE MOVIE
At the end, he wept and demanded another movie that was "safe". Note to parents, do NOT suggest watching the movie version of Bridge to Terabithia to a sick first grader lest you desire to spend the afternoon in bed crying with him. Having taken two days off to nurse a sick boy, I've managed to steal a few moments for myself to come here and write. Philippe Dumas ~ Parents' Magazine Press, 1977 Makes me long for those long summer afternoons when we all had nothing better to do than wonder. All the questions in the universe that are so amazing to ponder even if they are impossible to answer. All the sorts of questions that children wonder when they are discovering their inner lives.Īll the wonders of life that are so hard to explain but enormous to imagine.

THE BIG TIDY UP NORAH SMARIDGE FULL
The full flickr set is available to view, here. Jennifer's Walk was written by Anne Carriere, and illustrated by Arthur Getz, a prolific artist who is said to have painted more New Yorker covers than anyone else. Luckily, Teddy is there for her, and as Jennifer herself says about the distance between there and home, "We're far away, but not lost at all."
It's exciting stuff, and maybe a little scary. So her Mommy gave her an apple for Arabella the horse, said "Now Jennifer, try not to frighten the sheep," and kissed her goodbye. One day, Jennifer wanted to take a walk through the fields all by herself. The simple story of a girl's expedition across her farm's fields with her backpack, teddy bear and an apple for Arabelle the horse, Jennifer's Walk expresses a little girl's thrill at going out on her own to see the world. Of course, then I made the mistake of reading it a few times with my son, and now we're going to have to keep it forever. Ka-ching, I thought, I shall sell this on the interwebs for a meellion dollars! Kismet! The dustjacket was ravaged, but no matter, the inside was pristine.
Suffice to say, the used book gods were smiling that week, and I found Jennifer's Walk on the shelf the next time I visited the $1-a-Book Emporium. While looking online for information about Norah Smaridge's The Big Tidy-Up - which I had as a child, and which my mother always told me she'd gotten because I shared the name of the little girl in the story - I stumbled across a reference to a coveted old Golden Press title called Jennifer's Walk. Jennifer's Walk is a treat that landed on my bookshelf in a completely serendipitious way. And if you haven't already, check out the Limited Edition Vintage Kids' Books My Kid Loves T-shirts up for pre-sale!Īnne Carriere ~ Arthur Getz ~ Golden Press, 1973 Happy to welcome a guest post by reader, Jennifer Arrow, author of the blog Post-Apocalyptic Homeschool.
