A Great New Year’s Resolution
Like the playful antiquarian, I’m not much one for new year’s resolutions. I really like hers:
"In the 1934 edition of The Children’s Almanac of Books and Holidays, Helen Dean Fish gives this New Year’s advice: ‘Resolve to read at least a dozen good children’s books next year, and make a list of them now.’"
She didn’t have a list at the time of her blog post.
Inspired by her resolution, I’m going to read about my favorite mouse.

Intriguing. Sorry to be a curmedgeon….but this is not a surprising recommendation seeing as Ms. Fish WROTE children’s books. Perhaps Stephen King recommends resolving to read more horror stories.
