“I”BOOKS

When I was in the fourth grade, Miss LaFramboise, the art teacher, came once a week to give our home-room teacher, Mrs. Syllagi, an hour break.To pass the time, she started reading Eleanor Estes’s Newbery Award-winning Ginger Pye out loud to the class. Early in this delightful family story about a lost dog, the reading habits of nine-year-old Rachel and ten-year-old Jerry are described this way:They both always opened a book eagerly and suspiciously looking first to see whether or not it was an “I” book. If it were they would put it aside, not reading it until there was absolutely nothing else. . . . But, being an “I” book, it had to be awfully good for them to like it. Only a few, Robinson Crusoe, Treasure Island, and Swiss Family Robinson, for example, survived the hard “I” book test. These were among their best beloved in spite of the obvious handicap.
