Harriet the Spy was one of my favorite books as a child.  I actually owned a copy, my own dog-eared paperback that I lugged with me.  But best of all, I married a man who equally adores Harriet and all she stands for.  What children’s book lover and Harriet-wanna-be could pass that up?!

NPR has a great piece on Harriet the Spy and what she meant to my generation of readers.  She was a strong, feisty heroine who was completely and utterly herself.  She is what I want all children of today to be.  And hopefully they will read Harriet, relate to her and love her as I did as a child.

Harriet Rules!
