The Language of Goldfish Tekijä: Zibby Oneal
Would have been better if Oneal didn't shoehorn in Carrie's "cure" and closure. Some of the scenes are written beautifully, especially the ones during her "episodes", but the book starts going downhill the "better" she got, losing the charm it had during Carrie's worst moments.
Grandma Moses, painter of rural America by Zibby Oneal
Interesting audio book about the painter. Starts out when she was just a girl and didn't realize a lot of things, like birthdays.
Liked memories of my past as well, times outside with friends and family during winter months, on the lake, skating and sledding.
Liked hearing of how she painted the walls in her house when she had no money for house paint.
Loved hearing of how she played with dolls, dressing them and knitting.

Lila is a daughter of a weathy family. She never questioned her fathers authority until her grandmother was arrested in a suffrage movement. Lila later understand the reason her grandmother was arrested and that she was standing up for all women adn their right to vote.
I thought this was a very nice short story about a little girl learning about the struggles women go through to fight for equality. Lily is a solid character; The book is too short to do much character-building, but we see her cheering on her grandmother's cause without really thinking too much about it, and then we see her experiencing that same "females can't do these things!" discrimination, and she takes a stand. For such a short book intended for young readers, I think it's well-written and gets the point across.… (lisätietoja)
