New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristoff contributed to the kids summer reading debate last week with his column on the Best Kids’ Books Ever!
I was immediately tempted by his recommendation of On to Oregon!- a thrilling tale of a pioneer family whose parents die early en route and who must finish the grueling journey alone- although Mr. Kristoff must not have run his choices past a librarian, because if he had, he would have discovered that On to Oregon is now entitled Seven Alone (it’s also available as a movie, but in the spirit of summer reading, keep that a secret from the young ones). Kristoff’s other choices are all good stuff, from the wonderful Anne of Green Gables to Alex Rider and Harry Potter.
