She certainly captures a scene!<br /><br />I agree about the Newbery winners. I really need to explore more of them, especially the older ones.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-57448848667393520652014-07-15T07:22:41.435-04:002014-07-15T07:22:41.435-04:00I loved the illustrations!

You are so right - it's in the genes!Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-19862333391853330692014-07-15T07:16:05.715-04:002014-07-15T07:16:05.715-04:00I read this book as a child and loved it.

I believe that Enright was a granddaughter of Frank Lloyd Wright, so she came from an artistic family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-90470390672205648782014-07-12T21:49:19.777-04:002014-07-12T21:49:19.777-04:00Hope you enjoy your Thimble Summer, Lark.Hope you enjoy your Thimble Summer, Lark.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-15511112524080182712014-07-11T20:09:00.346-04:002014-07-11T20:09:00.346-04:00Belle, great review!

Perhaps I was oblivious to the Newbery Award?

I love old-fashioned children's books...there's an innocent fun to them that's missing from a lot of today's juvenile fiction. And what a perfect summer read! I wonder if my library has a copy of this... Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.com
