\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The girls and I just finished reading the Children’s Illustrated Classic The Secret Garden<\/em><\/a> by Frances Hodgson Burnett.\u00a0 They LOVED it!\u00a0 It was a good story with enough of an adventure to keep them asking me to read “just one more chapter tonight, please Mom”!<\/p>\n

The story is about a little girl from India named Mary Lennox.\u00a0 She was spoiled by everyone and had very little interaction with her parents.\u00a0 When her parents died she was sent to live with her Uncle in England, Lord Craven.\u00a0 Her Uncle was a sad man who was still mourning the death of his wife from 10 years ago and really did not want to have anything to do with Mary other then to make sure she had the food and necessities she needs.\u00a0 Mary learns to love life in England and has grand adventures exploring the manor’s gardens.\u00a0\u00a0 As she continues to explore outside, learns how to garden, and meets new friends Mary was able to keep more then one hidden secret that took those living in the large manor by surprise.<\/p>\n

The girls really enjoyed having me read this book out loud to them.\u00a0 The pictures and story really came alive for them as we processed on through the book.\u00a0 If you have you girls (or boys) and you are looking for a good book to read to them you should check this one out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
