Abby and I are enjoying spending time with the Moffat family. Every morning we read,
The Middle Moffat by Eleanor Estes. It is a refreshing time reading about the typical childhood life of the 1940's. The complications of WWII add to the activity but not robbing the innocence of the Moffat children. We have a particular fondness for the middle child, Jane.
Last year we read
The Children of Noisy Village by Astrid Lindgrin.
This book was also a fun remembrance of neighborhood life that I remember years ago (although not as many years ago). The chapters about Christmas are particularly charming. As a matter of fact, we may read it again in the next few weeks because it was such a pleasure. You know it is a good read when you look up and your teenagers are sitting around listening too!

Thanks for these recommendations -- I'm writing them down.
