Word on the street is that Costco currently has these children's classics sets for right around $21.

To be clear, these are Dover Evergreen Classics. So, they are unabridged and cheap. Honestly, most of these I would prefer to buy as beautiful hardback editions because they're excellent books. But this would be a great way to discover which ones you'd like to make that investment for your family. That price is pretty impossible to beat!

The book was better. No matter which book, no matter which movie.

BUT, Dusney's live action Cinderella is really, truly excellent. Visually stunning, strong themes of forgiveness and courage and longsuffering. Good clean fun for the whole family! (Yes, my son throws a fit every time, but always stays to watch anyway 😉)

Yesterday, my family was out visiting our new friends at at Lion & Lamb Homestead, and my kids came across their compost area. My son freaked out a bit at first and asked if it was the "death pile." The farmer laughed and replied that no, she thinks of it as the "life pile," because God has designed the creation in such a way to use the dead and gone to help bring forth new life.

What a great picture of the resurrection at Easter time! God does indeed bring beauty from ashes. Our new life in Christ is only made possible by his death.

I'll be addressing this a bit more in tomorrow's episode of Mrs. Flick's Picks Podcast, so stay tuned!

Because I have bunnies on my mind (long story), and because Easter is coming up, here is a treasure of a picture book--Marshmallow by Clare Newberry.

The narrative of a new baby bunny's tentative friendship with the family's resident cat is charming, but it is the illustrations that will have you scrolling Facebook classifieds for something cute and furry to cuddle!😊

Folks, laryngitis has struck again! I’m not sure when my voice will come back to record this week’s upcoming episode, but for now, enjoy this little segment from Wes Calihan at Roman Roads Press on stories—and why they matter:

In this excerpt from The Philosophers, unit 4 of The Greeks (Old Western Culture series on the Great Books of Western Civilization), Wes Callihan talks about...
