Rilla of Ingleside
by L. M. Montgomery is the last book in the "Anne of Green Gables" series. I really enjoyed it; however, be sure to read Rainbow Valley (book 7), first, as the authour has various characters refer to events that took place in Rainbow Valley. The reason that I read Rilla of Ingleside first was because in one of my family's Anne of Green Gables books, Rainbow Valley is listed last.

Homer Price
by Robert McCloskey. Homer Price is an excellent book about a boy and his pet skunk,[the skunk is not deoderized]. Usually when I read this book, I laugh. If you want to find out more about Homer Price after reading this book, read Centerburg Tales.

Snow Treasure
by Marie McSwigan takes place during World War Two. This story is about some Norwegian children who smuggle gold, on their sleds, to a ship. It is a very exciting story. I could read it again and again and again without getting tired of reading it.
The book is available from Recorded Books Classics in audio format. I could also listen to it again and again and again.
P.S. This book is a great read-aloud.
