Slave Dancer wasn't hard to read but difficult and a painful subject. I also feel obligated to say that Dr. Dolittle is not (to me) a great book, in fact it is proof that childrens lit has improved.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587346502542329330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7022775613667933377.post-67860678956578472642009-03-08T22:51:00.000-04:002009-03-08T22:51:00.000-04:00I haven't read too many of the early winners yet. ...I haven't read too many of the early winners yet. It was a bit of a struggle to get through <I>Smoky, the Cowhorse</I> and <I>Waterless Mountain</I>, I must admit. The only one I haven't read completely through so far, I admit, is <I>The Voyages of Dr. Dolittle</I>, but I read parts of <A HREF="http://newberryproject.blogspot.com/2008/12/voyages-of-doctor-dolittle-1923.html" REL="nofollow">four different versions</A> of it that it feels like I read it all!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902380558583190500noreply@blogger.com
