BOOK REVIEW: Kildee House

TITLE: Kildee House
AUTHOR:
Rutherford Montgomery
ILLUSTRATOR: Barbara Cooney
PUBLISHER: Walker Books for Young Readers
DATE OF PUBLICATION: September 1, 1993 (first published 1971)
FORMAT: Paperback, 224 pages
GENRE: Juvenile Fiction
ISBN: 978-0802773883

SYNOPSIS FROM GOODREADS:

Newbery Honor Book, 1950 An early naturalist and philosopher escapes civilization by building his house among the giant redwoods.

MY REVIEW:

I read this book aloud with my daughters. It is a 1950 Newbery Honor Book.

Upon his retirement, Jerome Kildee builds a house under a giant redwood tree in the wilderness surrounded by 100 acres of woods and hillside. Although his intention was to remain reclusive, he opens both his home and his heart to his woodland friends which include raccoons, skunks, mice, rats, and even a deer. His home is between two feuding neighbours: the Eppys and the Cabots. When Jerome befriends Emma Lou Eppy it piques the curiosity of Donald Roger Cabot and both children often come to visit him. As the animals multiply and take over Jerome's little house, Emma Lou and Donald Roger work together to find a solution. Doing so, repairs the rift between the feuding families.

We loved this book! My children love animals, so we really enjoyed reading how Jerome lived his life with raccoons in his wood stove and skunks under his bed!

I have often daydreamed about what life would be like to live in the wilderness away from technology and surrounded by nature. I would think it would be a peaceful existence - a simpler time. As long as I had books to read, I could live without television and the internet!

This is a wonderful book to enjoy with your children!


MY RATING:
4.5 stars!

This book qualifies as:
#35 for my 2011 100+ Reading Challenge

1001 Books To Read Before You Die Challenge (Perpetual)


Have you ever heard of this book?

The book was originally released in 2006, and then updated versions were released in 2008 and 2010.

The book lists 1001 books that everyone should read before they die, and they give a little caption for each book explaining why the book was chosen.

With the 2008 and 2010 editions, some books were removed and some books were added. You can see a list of the original 2006 books HERE. In browsing this list, I see quite a few books on my "Fill in the Gaps" Challenge and also on my TBR list.

I figured, what the heck! This is a lifelong endeavour, so why not? I am the type of person who likes to challenge herself, so I am going for it!

Now, being the anal (what? me??) type of person that I am, I not only want to read the books on the 2006 original list but also the ones that were added in 2008 and 2010!

How do you keep track of that all, you ask? Arukiyomi (link to follow below) created a fantastic Excel spreadsheet that keeps track of it all! You can mark books as TBR (to be read), R (read), or W (wish list), and you can assign your star rating. The spreadsheet even has a handy-dandy formula where you plug in your age, country of residence (so it can calculate life span), sex, and the number of books that you read a month to determine how long it will take you to finish the entire list. You can choose whether to complete the 2006 list, 2008 list plus the 2006 books removed, 2008 list only, 2010 list plus 2008 books removed, all three lists, or the core books (the ones that were on the original 2006 list that have never been removed from either the 2008 or 2010 lists).

So, at my present age and at the rate of three books a month from this list, I am on target to finish the total 1,294 books and finish the plan when I am 75 years old!! Isn't that a hoot? I tried inputting only two books a month, and it told me that I needed to increase to three books a month in order to complete the challenge since I am likely to die in another 42 years when I am 82.

You can sort your books on this spreadsheet by author or title or even by rating, and each list of books is colour-coded. It keeps statistics for you to mark your progress!

You can also click on the book title or author, which takes you to a hyperlink (usually Wikipedia) to learn more about the author/title before you read.

I cannot rave enough about how cool this spreadsheet is! I wish I had something like this for all my books, LOL!

How can you get one, too? The Lite version of the spreadsheet is a free download, but you only get the 2010 list which it is not searchable or sortable and does not contain all the cool bells and whistles. The one that I am describing above is the Full version which is available by donation, and you choose the amount you want to donate, from £2 to £10. Pretty nominal charge, right?

The Fill in the Gaps: 100 Project Reading Challenge


I am so excited to join this challenge, which was started by MoonRat, and which has been mentioned on numerous blogs.

It works like this: You compile a list of 100 books that you have sitting in your To Be Read ("TBR") pile, and you give give yourself five years to complete the challenge. Allowing for a leeway of 25%, you should consider that you have succeeded in this challenge if you finish 75% of your list.

My challenge will end on May 28, 2016.

2016 UPDATE: I didn't do very well on my five-year challenge! When I wrote this post in 2011, 2016 seemed so far away! A lot has happened in my personal life since that time, so reading and blogging took a back-burner. As a result, I only read four books on my list of 105:
  1. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (Outlander, Book 1)
  2. The Road by Cormac McCarthy 
  3. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter, Book #1) 
  4. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter, Book #2)
So, I am keeping the same list and extending for another five-years to May 28, 2021! Let's hope that I make better progress than just four books!

If you want to join me in the challenge, click HERE.

I had a really hard time narrowing down my list to just 100. My TBR pile is HUGE! I could have easily just made an entire list of classics that I want to read, but I thought that might be too daunting! I tried to mix it up a bit.

I ended up paring down my list to:
  • Classics that are on the top of my TBR list.
  • Popular books that were on bestseller lists.
  • Recommendations from others.

My lists runs to 105 because I needed to get the entire Outlander series in there, and I could not figure out which five books to eliminate!


If I manage to get through this list, I clearly will need to start another one!

Wish me luck! This list is in no particular order, other than grouping authors/series together. I do not pledge to read them in this order.

BOOK REVIEW: The Mystery of the Stolen Statue by George E. Stanley


TITLE: The Mystery of the Stolen Statue
SERIES: Book #10 of the Third-Grade Detectives Series
AUTHOR: George E. Stanley
PUBLISHER: Aladdin
DATE OF PUBLICATION: November 2, 2004
FORMAT: Paperback, 80 pages
GENRE: Juvenile Fiction, Chapter Books
ISBN: 978-0689864919 
 
SYNOPSIS FROM GOODREADS:

The Third-Grade Detectives are looking forward to their field trip to a local art museum, where a priceless fifteenth-century statue of Joan of Arc is on loan from a Paris museum. But when they arrive, they discover that the statue has been stolen!

The police quickly find the statue — smashed into pieces and thrown in a Dumpster. Why would someone steal the statue only to destroy it? It looks like a new case for the Third-Grade Detectives — even if the museum director doesn't seem to want their help.

MY REVIEW: 
 
I read this book with my daughters.

We are enjoying this mystery series! This is the fourth one in the series that we have read, although we have not been reading them in order. Since each book can be read as a stand-alone, it does not matter if you do  not read them in sequence.

The teacher of the Third Grade class is a former spy, and he gives the students code clues to help them solve mysteries. We always have a lot of fun trying to break the code or solve the riddles before we read ahead to find out the answer.

The chapters are short and more than one can be read at a time without being too tiresome. We plan to read more in the series.

MY RATING: 3.5 stars!

This book qualifies as:
#73 for my 2011 100+ Reading Challenge
