I read two books for the challenge this month:
- Rabbit Hill by Robert Lawson (1944)
- The Cricket in Times Square by George Selden, illustrated by Garth Williams (1960)
If you reviewed or otherwise posted about an "Old School" animal book from the decade of your birth or before, please leave a comment below with a link so other participants can see what you read. Thanks!
For this challenge, I chose Bambi: A Life in the Woods (1923) by Felix Salten, but I also read The Cricket in Times Square (1960) by George Selden, Along Came a Dog (1958) by Meindert DeJong, C Is for Cupcake (1974) by Carolyn Haywood, and Grandmother Cat and the Hermit (1970) by Elizabeth Coatsworth.

Those are both books I've enjoyed! I did not quite finish "Just So Stories" because after I started reading it, I decided to read them aloud to my kids and that slowed me down. I also started (very late) and did not finish Kipling's "The Jungle Books" - an illustrated version by Tibor Gergely which is much more appealing than my plain paperback edition. @oneaponceatime
