I loved the beginning of this and kind of lost interest after Colin was introduced. This needs more robins and less boys.

How did I manage to not read this book for so long? It was in the shelf when I was a child and I assumed I had read it and didn’t care for it. But I had NOT, and I LOVE IT.

I'm doing a summer reading challenge and for this prompt it was 'Read a book you loved as a child'. I still love this book .. but Colin is still irritating.

Delightful. I read this in late elementary school and re-read it now as an adult—so glad I did!
