🦄Did you read a lot of fairytales when you were young? 👑 . I didn’t! My parents read me a lot of books, but I don’t think I was much into the classic fairytales 🧚‍♀️(I’m talking Hans Christian Andersen-classic) Most of my fairytale knowledge today comes predominately from Disney movies 😅 which obviously isn’t always as accurate 😂 . . . #minalima #minalimaclassics #harper360ya #harper360uk #pinocchio #theadventuresofpinocchio #booksandfashion #bookcover #bookstagrammer #fairytales #bookishoutfits #ootd #vintageoutfit #childrensclassics #classicbooks #classickidlit #booksandfashion #allthebooks #readerforlife #bookaddicts #livetoread #beautyinlife #readersofinstagram #mybookfeatures #cozybooks #booksphotography #booksandnature #booksinnature #bookpicture #mybookgramm #booksbrat (at Glasgow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPzFUbqLblQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

New current read: Five On A Treasure Island by Enid Blyton. I decided to pick this up as my depression is kicking my ass and I needed something easy to read and comforting but didn’t fancy rereading Harry Potter again. I got the full series of these for an excellent price on The Book Bundle. HOWEVER, these books were written in the 40s and therefore are problematic by today’s standards. They are definitely a product of their time but for my own fun I’ve decided to tab things that are out of date. Like. I’m on page 13 and the things said about gender already…. 🚩 That said, I think it’s important to remember that these views were standard when the books were written and set. Still doesn’t make it right, but I do think historical context is important. All in all, I’m reading this series because I loved Enid Blyton as a kid and needed something easy going yet still with a bit of intrigue because… I remember 0 of the plots of these?? What were some of your favourite children’s reads? Would you read again now? What do you think of the whole Enid Blyton debate? #enidblyton #enidblytonbooks #famousfive #thefamousfive #thefamousfiveseries #thefamousfivebyenidblyton #famousfivebooks #fiveonatreasureisland #childrensbooks #childrensclassics #childrensclassicbooks #depressionreads #comfortbooks #bookstagram #comfortreads #comfortbook #comfortread https://www.instagram.com/p/CbYOBXgrzsJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

We all love surprise and innovation, something new and unique, but sometimes things just work perfectly and are most beautiful by virtue of their simplicity. For over 50 years, and through multiple iterations, from the original to a lift-the-flap version, to bilingual versions in over 17 languages, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" (1967) by beloved duo Bill Martin, Jr. and Eric Carle, has charmed children and parents with its repetitive refrain familiar to so many of us. Carle's incredible illustrations of colourful animals, slightly different from one edition to the next (a grey mouse appeared in the 1970 version, as did a pink elephant, and it wasn't until 1984 that a teacher took the place of the monkey at the end) have kept toddlers poring over its pages for decades, and likely will for the foreseeable future. A lovely staple that belongs on every baby's shelf. ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #brownbearbrownbearwhatdoyousee #brownbearbrownbear #billmartinjr #ericcarle #ericcarlebooks #ericcarlemuseum #ericcarleinspired #billmartinjrbooks #brownbear #toddlerbooks #rhymes #learningcolors #magicofchildhood #preschoolteacher #picturebook #childrensclassics #littlebookworm #growingreaders #preschoolreaders https://www.instagram.com/p/B84YeRfHAAX/?igshid=lhou8n1rou3x

It's not often that I #bookstagram but I couldn't help but share this treasure I found at a library book sale. This is At the Back of the North Wind by George MacDonald, and it still has the library card in it with dates stamped on it going all the way back to the 60's, making this the oldest book we currently have in our collection. I've seen and held many older books since my mother was a huge fan of antique books and had several in her collection that were at least 200 years old, but I still consider a nearly 60-year-old book to be quite an accomplishment. Especially how good of condition it's in. This is definitely a treasure I'll enjoy for years to come. :) #book #books #oldbooks #antiquebooks #atthebackofthenorthwind #GeorgeMacdonald #ChildrensBooks #childrensclassics #classics

Good Morning bookworms! How is everyone on this Monday morning? I am exhausted from a very fun Easter yesterday! I hope you all had a lovely weekend! 💗• • Did the Easter Bunny bring you any goodies? My husband surprised me with this Robinhood Funko pop! He has been on my wish list forever and because he's so hard to find I hadn't gotten him yet! So needless to say I was very happy!! 💚• • 💚Candle by @geekygirlscents • #robinhood #theadventuresofrobinhood #childrensclassics #puffinclassics #geekygirlscents #booksandfunko
