Ralph the Mouse and the Motorcycle Series
Little House on the Prarie Series

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle http://www.madeleinelengle.com/
There was another story about a small, minature family ...I can't remember it all but it was a good story, it was before the Indian in the Cupboard or that movie about the small people. Oh yeah...Tbe Borrowers Series!!!!!!!
There is another that a teacher read to our sixth grade class about a sister and brother on their own near the beach...I don't even recall the name but the stories always stuck in my mind! They ate buttery oysters by the seashore...I remember that..ha I've never eaten an oyster but I remember the word succulent was used....darn.... succulent just sounds awesome, doesn't it? I've always wished I remembered the name of that book..I had to leave the class sometimes when she read it right before lunch to help serve lunch (it was an honor student privilege) but I always regretted not hearing the rest of the story...I've thought about that book often throughout my life...To all you teachers out there, kids don't ever forget the things you do and the way the things you do touch our lives! If anyone knows the book I'm thinking about...please let me know!
