Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-20 00:00:00 Brad Jakeman Reading on openlibrary - currently they have the one hour loan thing going on though so I may not finish in a timely manner.... Pausing at p. 184, Chapter 12. (Yes, these stories are very quick reads. ;) Back at it... and it had been saved where I left off! (I hadn't logged off, after all, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.) The endpaper spoils the mystery and the fun! Don't look at it! "Your troubles will only grow if you water 'em" so stop crying.... (Jinx says this. He's a black cat, a smart-aleck and a bit bloodthirsty. But still, he's got a point.) Interesting that the beetles are characterized as long-winded and rambly... they don't live long enough for much talk, one would think. Some things here are timeless, like the gentle satire of Charles's speechifying about courage vs. his actual courage (but I'm not sure of the pun that he's 'hen-pecked'). Some make me wince, like the idea that of a scheme to make workers scared, so they'd get more done (but at least the point of that is 'in less time' so they'd have afternoons off). Lots to discuss, actually, in this series. The characters exemplify different traits of human nature... and yet are also fully developed individuals in their own right. Best to read immediately before giving to your 9-11 yo child, or reading together with your 7-11 yo, imo. I loved the one that I had access to as a child and read it several times, and will continue to read them as I can find them... even if I have to read them an hour at time. (This did take me less than two hours.)
