Oh Mary Jo! It’s funny to think of third-grade you trying to adopt the stare of a bear! I’m partial to British bears myself. xo

I obviously feel the same way, Caroline! I absolutely loved Meg too. I don’t know why I didn’t love Little Women – I read it as a kid and again as a teen and once again as an adult, always wanting to. xo

I have been reminiscing and reflecting a lot this week about Paddington Bear, in light of Micheal Bond’s death. My third-grade self tried in earnest to adopt Paddington’s habit of a disdainful “hard stare” towards people he did not like. Have a great fondness for Pooh also. Guess I have a soft spot for British bears.
