There's no strong language, only the slightest hint of sex (references to a wife producing an heir, really PG flirtations between characters), and while there's some violence (a pretty brutal war between the rats and a big, fierce cat), it's made clear that violence is not the answer to problems. The kids looking for fairies part of this one was sooooo sweet. They each had a problem they needed help with and set out to get help from the fairies, with Beatrix's help. The first two don't have fairies, but they have the talking animals part (the badgers are really funny). Anyway, I already went on and on about these, but they're definitely worth looking into. I can't believe what a great job WIttig Albert did on these.allisonmariecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00211696859124273031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21930771.post-23264532394656667802008-01-10T08:09:00.000-06:002008-01-10T08:09:00.000-06:00I'm glad you enjoyed the knitting mysteries. They ...I'm glad you enjoyed the knitting mysteries. They just seemed like they would be right up your alley. And I know you've reviewed the Beatrix Potter mysteries before, but the fact that you said they could be read out loud to kids and involved fairies and other such things....hmm, I may have to take a look at them now. Since Ella is into all things fairy-related these days.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944204657462978748noreply@blogger.com
