The second book, More of Milly-Molly-Mandy, was totally new to me this time as I didn't have it as a child. The stories are even more dear to my heart now and both my boys (ages 7 and almost-5) enjoyed them, too.

This book inspired lots of fun activities for us like trying three-legged racing and cutting out paper dolls. Written in the 1920s, MMM is a little girl who lives with her sprawling family in a pleasant little village, and she gets into several very small and rather adorable adventures.The illustrations are wonderful line drawings, and perfectly match the tone and style of the writing. Though the village life is "old-fashioned" by today's standards, the children yearn to be independent as well as helpful, and I think this is timeless. Milly-Molly-Mandy lives in a tiny village in the heart of the countryside, where life is full of everyday adventures!
