If You Don't See The Book You

I Feel Sometimes That In Children's Books There Are More And More Grim Problems, But I Don't Know That I Want To Burden Third- And Fourth-graders With Them.

In Seventh Grade...i Found A Place On The [library]shelf Where My Book Would Be If I Ever Wrote A Book, Which I Doubted.

The Humiliation That Jane Had Felt Turned To Something Else--grief Perhaps, Or Regret. Regret That She Had Not Known How To Act With A Boy, Regret That She Had Not Been Wiser.

When I Was In The First Grade I Was Afraid Of The Teacher And Had A Miserable Time In The Reading Circle, A Difficulty That Was Overcome By The Loving Patience Of My Second Grade Teacher. Even Though I Could Read, I Refused To Do So.

As A Child, I Disliked Books In Which Children Learned To Be 'better' Children.
