I was browsing one of my favorite websites today when I ran across this recipe for homemade marshmallows. I’ve never had homemade marshmallows, but I understand they are very yummy. While reading through the recipe, I wondered if there were any characters in literature with the name of Marshmallow. I rushed to Google and searched. Results led me to a wonderful little book by Clare Turlay Newberry called, yes you guessed it, Marshmallow. Since I’m the curious sort and wanted to know more, I did another search and found this article, one you’ll truly appreciate if you love both cats and rabbits, which I do.

I’m quite a fan of children’s literature. I read as much of it as I do adult fiction. A well-written story with skillfully rendered illustrations can always be appreciated. Today, I’ve found another book I must add to my collection. Someday, I hope to share a variety of stories with a grandchild. For now stories like Marshmallow will have to be personal pleasures.
