I just wrote a blog post about the book Raymie Nightingale by Kate DiCamillo. As I sit here in Texas, I was amazed at the connections I could very quickly come up with having grown up in Florida in the 1970s, the setting of Raymie Nightingale. The book also reminded me of my old go-to books I enjoyed as a child; Betsy and Tacy, The Moffats, and Little House on the Prairie and how I really enjoy when I find a new book that takes me back there. Some recent discoveries that fit that bill are The Penderwicks, A Snicker of Magic and The Poet's Dog.
