No shame in reading “Charlotte’s Web.” I was delighted to read all of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books, and the Little Britches series, aloud to my kids. Along with many more. Much “children’s literature” is superior to the junk marketed to adults today.

“No shame in reading “Charlotte’s Web..”

This is for child number 3... now, you think that since I read it twice before for the other two, I wouldn’t cry. I still cry.

I recently read Let the Hurricane Roar, a novel for younger readers by Rose Wilder Lane, Laura Ingalls Wilder's daughter. This is the story of a young family who must learn to cope with harsh conditions in order to survive on the Western Plains, circa 1874. I also read her nonfiction book The Discovery of Freedom: Man's Struggle Against Authority (New York: Day, 1943), a conservative classic that advocates political liberty and free markets.
