For this cycle of BooksFree we discussed everything from the 50 key moments in English literature to the fact that a book cannot make your child misbehave. Join us and tell us what you think. Oh, and don’t forget to bring your book.
- The Guardian gave us a look into what they consider to be the top 50 key moments in English literature. Let us know if you agree.
- Is it possible that misbehaving children in children’s books can make our own kids misbehave? Hard to believe that it might be true. Read here to find out why.
- Should language that is considered racist to some be removed from classic children’s books? Read Felicity Capon’s article for The Telegraph to find out what the controversy is all about.
- Have you ever heard of Goodreads.com? If you haven’t, you should check it out. It’s a social media site with over 15 million members that promotes a love of reading and sharing about what you have read.
- Libraries are not important is basically what a British author said recently and added that people should not be able to read for free. What do you think of his comments and the reaction he got?
- Finally, we discussed our opinion of a book making a child misbehave. The discussion was a little sarcastic, but come on, we have control of our kids, not a character in a book. What do you think?
