It is written in really old-fashioned language and at times was tedious and hard to understand. Especially on the day that I was so tired that I actually fell asleep while reading this to Lacy. I said something about Sara having blond hair. Yeah, she's a brunette and I'm not sure where that came from. Sleep deprivation is a scary thing.
To make the book more fun for Lacy, I had to emphasize my voice during certain parts. She ate that up! In the end, she really loved the book. She likes the Little House books better, but she still really enjoyed reading A Little Princess with me. She especially loved all the chapters about the magic, and she was so mad at Miss Minchen. Well, she should be. Miss Minchen is pure evil.
I'm glad I got to share my favorite childhood book with Lacy. It was a difficult book for me to read aloud at times, and some of the chapters are really long. Which is part of the reason I fell asleep that one day. But she loved it, and that's what matters! This book is a little hard for a 6 year old so when it's time to read chapter books with Rose, I'll probably wait until she's closer to 7 or 8 to read this book. It's a lovely book, but it can be hard for the young kids to pay attention.
Lacy says- "It's cool and exciting. I really wanted my mom to read all of it at the same day. It was AWESOME! It was awesome because I decided that I want to make another book of it- A Little Princess 2. My dad said he would read any book I wrote."
