As with many young kids, I had teachers read to the class. There was one book in particular that I really loved but all I remembered about it was a magical ring made of mushrooms, a pony, a playhouse, and a girl with a disability. Fast forward to a few months ago. My SIL suggested I read Summer of the Monkeys to my boys. I thought it sounded fun and since it was by the same author as "Where the Red Fern Grows" I knew it would probably be good. I am sure you can tell where this is going...Summer of the Monkeys is the book that my teacher read to our class so many years ago! I just finished reading it to my older boys. I dare say this is my new favorite book. We laughed so hard in some parts (even my husband would come in and listen to me read it because he enjoyed it too - and he laughed probably the most of all!) and, me being the only female in the house, cried through a whole lot of it. A wonderful book about deep relationships between man and beast, holding on to hope, and showing great love when it really counts.
