My husband read this book over and over to our girls, when they were little. He would change the words, and call it "Benry Habysits". There is a line in the book, in which Henry always tells all the parents that it will be "no trouble". Our oldest would always repeat this line, and it was so cute.Lisa And Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232186814406464470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519413860885906550.post-36446516231016231792009-10-16T22:47:34.238-07:002009-10-16T22:47:34.238-07:00What a terrific giveaway. i would love a copy of &...What a terrific giveaway. i would love a copy of "Martha's Freedom Train."

I'm afraid I don't read as many children's books as I should, but oh, I also really love "If you Give a Mouse a Cookie".<br /><br />And the seventh sentence is "My Nana and his mother are friends, so I suppose I saw him on a few of the occasions I spent with my grandparents."<br /><br />This line, by the way, is a lie--that's not how she knows him at all. =)Heather Justesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16585046213575146355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519413860885906550.post-87055523055038814082009-10-07T15:31:59.395-07:002009-10-07T15:31:59.395-07:00I really enjoyed this interview with Connie.

It would inspire me as I am writing about a young man who meets som pioneers. My favorite children's author is Beverly Cleary. Her books are so well written and she uses humor so well. I'm currently read "A Promise To Believe In," by Tracie Peterson. It takes place in Montana Territory, and on page 51, sentence # seven says: "It is. Go right ahead. Lacy, please get the water, then see that the table is set."<br />Julia GriffinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519413860885906550.post-53822384012652962862009-10-07T15:24:31.999-07:002009-10-07T15:24:31.999-07:00It was fun to read the interveiw.

Each one was by an LDS author, the one that I critiqued was by Margaret Yorgeson. The books were to be sold with matching dolls for the protagonist.
