My blog will feature books from our collection with 3 recommendations a week. I decided that before I went from crazy obsession to a candidate for A&E's Hoarders, I should probably find a way to rechannel my desire for personally acquiring excellent books into recommending that others do so. I have a passion for kids’ books.Well, technically I crossed the line from passion to obsession after purchasing 400 kids' books and from obsession, it was only a hop,skip, jump and purchase of 150 more books to crazy obsession. I'm a wife and a mom.We have two sons and a daughter, aged 6, 4 and 3. Neither you nor the kids in your life, will be disappointed. Luckily, used copies can be found online. Even more upsetting, this wonderful book appears to be out of print. Unfortunately, Sadie the Air Mail Pilot is not part of the Chicago Public Library's collection.
Predict that Sadie the Air Mail Pilot will continue to be one of the most oft requested books in the house for a few more years. Many details to study that even years later, we frequently find something new. Kellie Strom's illustrations in Sadie the Air Mail PilotĪre the most striking and unique that I have ever seen. Her, and she was enthralled by the illustrations and pulls it out everyday. My daughter, for whom I purchased the book in the first place, is only now at the right age to enjoy this great story. My own boys, even now at 6 and 4 years of age, still request that Sadie the Air Mail Pilot be read.
While Sadie is a female tiger, do not let that prevent you from seeking out this book for little boys in your life. Take heed writers out there, I know many little girls who would love more thrilling picture books featuring - GIRLS! Thus, my boys have a large, wonderful collection. On the flip side, you can't swing a stick without hitting an action-packed picture book featuring a male character. Sadie the Air Mail Pilot is one of the few wonderful exceptions. While Princess books abound, it is difficult finding adventure picture books featuring female characters. In the years since my daughter's birth as I have sought books for her library collection, I have been extremely frustrated. I love the combination because, honestly, I do not think I could tolerate her exclusively wanting to be a princess, wearing shades of pink and having tea parties daily. She is also a "girly girl", so she is very likely to engage in those activities wearing a party dress and carrying a Hello Kitty purse. She loves to run, climb, jump, flip, slide, build and now play basketball. Since my daughter has two older brothers, she is a bit of a tomboy.
