Our children deserves "William", so do their parents.adiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09717512114115508159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-74117540967898586772011-09-10T23:46:23.647+01:002011-09-10T23:46:23.647+01:00I loved these books as a child but I've not re...I loved these books as a child but I've not read them since then.

In fact, they weren't even published in the right order (many were in magazines first) - Jumble the dog appears in the first story in the first book, and a later story is all about William acquiring him!StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-57104154776970622242011-09-07T10:56:35.097+01:002011-09-07T10:56:35.097+01:00I'm always looking for good ideas for books to...I'm always looking for good ideas for books to read to my almost 8 year old son at bedtime. I hadn't thought of Just William, probably because I didn't read them myself as a child. I'll search them out at the library. Does it matter what order you read them in?Joannehttp://www.seagreenreader.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
