Have you read The Story of Little Babaji by Helen Bannerman with them? I haven't found a copy. Is it worth the looking?

Momma,

Many many times. We absolutely LOVE that story! Got it at Amazon.

The Story of Little Babji is also located within The 20th Century Children's Book Treasury. It is the last story in the book.

Really, Ginger? I didn't care for Little Babaji, so I dropped it from our list. But maybe I just didn't get it? I was going to say I'd send you ours, Momma, but then I remembered I have it in the treasury too :)

Ginger said...

Really. Try it again. Seriously.

My son also loves Peter Pan. We read a chapter or so together in succession till the whole story is done. This way we can talk about it too. He loves it and enjoys the idea of there being a place up in the sky filled with adventures that fairies (though he mixes them up with angels) take you to while you sleep.
