Sometimes the simplest stories are also the most thought-provoking. Virginia Burton's "The Little House" (1942), about how the world changes around a small family home through the years, is a gorgeous example of this. While Burton herself claimed that it was not meant to be a critique of urbanisation, but rather was intended to evoke the passage of time for a young audience, nonetheless there are lessons to be learned as we see this country cottage encroached upon by roads and buildings, and eventually overtaken by them. Still, kids will be fascinated, over 75 years after its initial publication, to see how the world changes over time, and the story is as sweet and enjoyable as ever. ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #noodlenutskidsbooks #thelittlehouse #virginialeeburton #virginialeeburtonslittlehouse #virginialeeburtonbooks #classicpicturebook #classicpicturebooks #childhoodclassics #childhoodfavourites #antiquepicturebooks #antiquechildrensbook #vintagekidsbooks #vintagepicturebookillustration #vintagechildrensbook #childhoodfavorite #kidlitpicks_retrofaves #1000booksbeforekindergarten #booksthatchangedmylife #readingrecommendations #childrensliteracy https://www.instagram.com/p/B4YKTIRnis7/?igshid=14n1fdjgww8p1

An antique book about an adventurous goat named Billy Whiskers?! Okay! This illustrated book has been entertaining both kids and adults since 1910. It was part of a 30 book Billy Whiskers series written by American author Frances Trago Montgomery (1858-1925) who was reportedly one of John F. Kennedy’s most favorite childhood writers. Now it’s part of the Vintage Kitchen’s curated reading and eating collection - a fun companion for your coffee or tea break. Find it newly listed in the shop! - - - - - #goat #billygoat #billywhiskers #goatadventures #antique #antiquebooks #antiquechildrensbook #goatstory #goatlover #goatsofinstagram #1910s #booksofinstagram #oldbooks #readtoyourkids #raisereaders https://www.instagram.com/p/BoMoGw3HWlO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11d239xm92w72

For the final day in our Week of Poetry I'm going to shake things up again (or settle them down) and share a beautiful old favourite. A.A. Milne, creator of Winnie the Pooh, published "When We Were Very Young" in 1924, and together with its follow-up, "Now We Are Six", it remains in print to this day. Full of sweet, gentle, sometimes silly verses that are still appealing to small children, and beautiful, evocative vocabulary, this is a wonderful read on a quiet day, and a great addition to any family library. ⏺ ⏺ ⏺ #whenwewereveryyoung #nowwearesix #winniethepooh #christopherrobin #aamilne #aamilnepoems #ernesthshepard #ehshepard #ehshepardillustrations #methuen #dellyearling #duttonbooksforyoungreaders #1920sbooks #1920schildrensbooks #1920s #beautifulpoetry #childrenspoetry #poetryforchildren #poetrycollection #bookish #bibliophile #earlyyears #oldbooks #vintagechildrensbook #antiquechildrensbook https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz3bXgInKDb/?igshid=16otz4e2hxeoa
