A review by luann
The Golden Name Day by Jennie D. Lindquist, Garth Williams
4.0
I read this when I was young, but I didn't remember any of the details except that the girl didn't have a name day and really wanted one. This was such a pleasure to read because I kept remembering the details as I read them - the interesting pet names, the basket with the pattern so you could make your own, the wonderful family and friends who love and support Nancy. Such a sweet, feel-good story!
Reading this was like meeting an old friend that you hadn't remembered for years, but who you instantly felt comfortable getting to know again. The illustrations by Garth Williams were also perfect for the story.
I wish this was still in print so I could have my own copy. I would enjoy reading this again sometime and having the chance to share it with others. This was a Newbery Honor winner in 1956.
