* Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie*
We finished this book last night. The book was SO much better than the Disney movie or the old broadway movie we have. We've not seen the more recent Peter Pan with actors....the children are asking that I see if we can get it from Netflix.
Not sure what we will be reading next....several ideas are currently being floated.....We'll see.

Did you know that there is a sequel just been published in the UK?
It's called Peter Pan in Scarlet by Geraldine McCaughrean, one of our top children's writers. I've not read it yet but the reviews have been great.
It was commissioned by Barrie's estate and half the royalties are going to the same children's hospital to which Barrie bequeathed all the royalties from Peter Pan.

Wow - I need to find this one! Thanks for the heads up. I'm checking amazon.com today.
I had heard they were doing that, Dorothy, but didn't know they were done.
I've Peter Pan on our list for family reading.
Amazon.com has it. It's on it's way to me...and I was able to download a cool illustration of Peter from the book. WHEN I have a printer again (Xerox is sending me a drum for the machine) the kids will love to color this one.
Thanks for the info, Dorothy. I have no idea where my ears have been. LOL
