I’m so glad you found Purple House Press. I love The Ark as it has a different perspective of WWII. 💜 We enjoyed The Christmas Stove!

Oh, Heather, thanks so much for the lovely mention of my KZitem channel! 😊 I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed The Golden Name Day and I am excited to check out The Purple Press! Your sister’s notebooks are lovely! I also make handmade notebooks and will be sharing some soon. So paper crafts are near and dear to me. That’s so great that she has an Etsy shop! I will check out The Keeper of the Bees as well… the cover is gorgeous and the story intrigued me too. I love stories set around war and also love bee lore. Interesting about the colors because I made a bird bath this summer and was told to use blue or green ceramic rather than white or something else bc birds like blue and green! A lovely video as usual and I enjoyed my coffee while I watched it. ☕️ I love your love of beautiful illustrations and children’s books!

Oh, I also meant to say that a book my son and I have always enjoyed is called Mr. Pine's Mixed Up Signs. I wonder if it's the same author? : )

Hi Celeste! It's a real pleasure...I mean what I say I really love your channel so much! Oh that is interesting...I also read that butterflies prefer white and orange or yellow (maybe both) which will explain why the monarchs have been visiting the polar bear zinnias so much!

Lovely bunch of books, a real treat to see. I have the Nutcracker illustrated by Robert Ingpen. He has done Alice in wonderland as well but it didn't appeal too much to me 😊.

I know what you mean about the "Alice" Robert Ingpen. I feel his style works much better with less fantasy-oriented works, like Aesops or Just So Stories, although I really love his The Wind in the Willows. Gulliver's Travels is another one I would like to get. Thank you so much for watching!!! I am glad you enjoyed it!🐝

Good morning, Heather🌞 😂All these appeal to me! Dune is a long time favorite and the folio society long desired❤Howl’s❣️Just reread it last year again and watched the Ghibli film while in TN with my oldest daughter. 💗 I’ve added the Shakespeare folio to a list I keep for gifts for my grandkids. My 8 year old granddaughter is almost ready for it.🤗 Whisperwicks, & Dragonfly Pool look right up my alley so I must look into more about them. Just picked up an Alma edition of a Russian classic! Thank you for sharing about Purple house & Bushel & Peck. I’ve been seeing them around and am never sure about ordering from companies I haven’t heard of.

Hi Deea! Good Morning! You and I have such similar interest in books that I am not surprised! I wondered if you are a fan of Dune! I can't wait to see your Alma edition! I love those two publishing companies! Yes that is exactly how I feel - the gratitude I feel for "Booktube" is that you get to see books "in person" a bit more than just a scanned image. It's wonderful! I so need to read Howl's! I am loving Dragonfly Pool but then again I love all of the Eva Ibbotson books I have read so far. I hope if you get the Shakespeare for your granddaughter that you/she love it as much as I do! Have a lovely day, and thank you so much for watching and for commenting!🐝

Well I am utterly mortified at having only just realized (almost a week after publishing this!) that I said Gene Porter-Stratton instead of Gene Stratton-Porter😳. So yeah....correction! Gene Stratton-Porter! Maybe I need to return to coffee....

SEIKN is pronounced SKANE as in bell o SKEIN is pronounced "skane" as in ball of yarn. Have not watched your channel often, do you only review children's books?
@WaterBearReads
Ай бұрын
No all books, but I stick to illustrated books as much as I can because it is what I love! I tend to love classics, modern classics and vintage or out-of-print children's books the most in both children and adult books. Welcome!!!! And thank you so much for the "skane"! I speak three languages and you would think it would help but sometimes, such as in this case, it hindered as I was pronouncing it the way I would read it in Afrikaans!

Actually, I think the thought process was that I was trying to NOT say it the way I would read it in Afrikaans! Its all so confusing sometimes! I don't hear that word often!
