One of the books that has made a lasting impression on my daughters and me is "To Kill a Mockingbird."

As adults, we read books with a very different set of eyes than we might have at 8, 10, 12 years old; there is no way to "un-know" the things that inform our reading now, but without our experiences, children have no point of reference. And that means they're absorbing the literature, but not being "corrupted" or negatively influenced. Muppet movies are a great example - I loved them as a kid for the silliness and the puppets and the action; now I love them for the wit and clever humor and mild innuendo.Kirsten Ghttp://foliofiles.femmeflavor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-44823991588110908962010-11-26T21:04:41.488-05:002010-11-26T21:04:41.488-05:00I have never even heard of this title!
