Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Loved But Never Reviewed

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday!  This week’s topic is Books I Loved but Never Reviewed.  I’ve talked about my favorite books on Top Ten Tuesday many times, and many of those are books I never reviewed.  So for a change of pace, I decided to focus my list on books I loved that I read with my children and never reviewed.  Titles are linked to Goodreads.  Let’s get into my list!

  1. Detective in Togas!!! That sounds an absolute blast! I’m going to look out for those! Great list (I loved the film Babe – that’ll do pig!) but never read it.
    This is my TTT

      Detectives in Togas was a lot of fun. After reading Babe, I watched the movie. I think the book was better!

      Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂

      Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂

  6. Love your twist on the topic this week! 🙂

  7. Great list! I don’t think I’ve read any of these. Is the movie Babe based on that book? I haven’t reviewed any children’s books I read with my kids, but I like your idea for this week!

    • Poinsettia says

      Yes, the movie is based on the book. We watched the movie after reading the book, and we liked the book better!

      Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂

  8. Detectives in Togas looks such fun!

      It is! If you read it, you’ll have to let me know what you think.

  9. I love that you picked all children’s books. Because of Winn-Dixie sounds very good. The cover on Detectives in Togas is great! In fact they all have good covers.

    • Poinsettia says

      They are all really good! If you get a chance to read any of these, I’d love to know what you think.

      Thanks so much for visiting and commenting. 🙂

  10. What a lovely post! I work in a primary school library and always love to see books for the kids. I grew up speaking Afrikaans, so a large number of English books for children/middle school, passed me by.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog!

    • Poinsettia says

      You’re welcome!

      Sharing books with my kids definitely makes them fun! If you decide to check any of these out, you’ll have to let me know what you think.

      Thank you so much for visiting and commenting. 🙂

  11. Babe is based on a book?! I’ll have to look into that. 🙂

  12. I love the sound of Detectives in Togas! What a great list!

    • Poinsettia says

      Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed my list. If you read Detectives in Togas, you’ll have to let me know if you like it.

      Thank you for stopping by and commenting. 🙂

  13. Great list! I’ve not read any of them, although I did watch the movie adaptation of Babe in the cinema when I was little!

  14. Detectives in Togas looks hilarious! I’m kind of sad you didn’t review that one after seeing the cover.

    My TTT.

    • Poinsettia says

      It was a lot of fun! If you decide to read it, I’d like to know what you think.

      Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂

  15. Ha, some of these look so fun! And aaah, Babe. <3

  16. I know of Babe:The gallant Pig. and I´m most interested in Winn – Dixie perhaps because I should like to have a dog

    • Poinsettia says

      Both of those are excellent books. I hope you enjoy Winn-Dixie if you get a chance to read it!

      Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂

  17. These sound like fun reads!! Great list.

  18. Oh these look so fun! My daughter LOVED Because of Winn- Dixie.

    • Poinsettia says

      They were a lot of fun! If you share any of these with your daughter, I hope you both enjoy them.

      Thanks so much for visiting and commenting. 🙂

  19. How did I not know there were Babe books?! Haha, that is cute. I thought the movies were really great back in the day. My kids probably would’ve enjoyed the books too but they’re a bit old now.

  20. I love it when parents share their favorite books and their love of reading with their children. I believe the only I’ve read from this list is Because of Winn-Dixie, which was a childhood favorite of mine. Even more so when the movie came out and I watched it countless times. Somehow I don’t think I realized Babe was a book, which is a strange thought… I should probably pick that up at some point.

    • Poinsettia says

      I’m glad you enjoyed my list! Yep, Babe is based on a book, and I really think the book is better! If you get a chance to read it, you’ll have to let me know what you think.

      Thank you for stopping by and commenting. 🙂

  21. What a great twist on this week’s prompt! Thank you for sharing these. <3

  22. How lovely to be able to share some of the books you’ve enjoyed with your children. ?

  23. Some of these bring back memories like Babe.
    Thanks for stopping by The Phantom Paragrapher

  24. Great list! I loved Dick King-Smith’s books as a child.

    • Poinsettia says

      I somehow missed out on his books as a child! So it was a new experience for me and my kids when we read Babe.

      Thanks so much for visiting and commenting. 🙂

  25. I loved how you did children’s books. While I read many with my children, I started to review some of those books and made an extra
    list for them.

    From your list, I only read Babe but that’s probably because my children are older than yours, I suppose.

    Thanks for visiting my TTT earlier.

    • Poinsettia says

      You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed my list. I’ve started to review some of the books I’ve read with my children, but didn’t manage to write a review for any of these.

      Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
