Redwall Series - Great Series for Kids

Remember this one, great read from what I remember.

So I was just reading a bit about the Redwall series - and they made a cartoon about Redwall and one of the other books at some point.

Mossflower was my favorite I think - read about 1/2 of it last night. Salamandastron and Mariel worth both great as well, Lord Brocktree is another one I remember. Pearls of Lutra, Marlfox, the Long Patrol all stick out.

Really surprised at how well it holds up reading Mossflower. Obviously a lot of the characters are grouped into their own tropes, but even so - some of the characters are struggling with breaking out of being raised by evil, one of the evil wildcat lords is good, etc. He glosses over death a decent bit for obvious reasons.

But his descriptive prose is absolutely excellent.

Just googling it, looks like about 4 or so more came out after I quit grabbing every installment. May have to work my way through them coming up.

They hold up for adults . Some were pretty heavy for kids. I got to meet Jacques when I was a kid. He was awesome.

Damn that is awesome, ya I definitely cried reading one as a kid one time. But reading something like this when you are younger that is a bit more nuanced probably helps a whole lot with your reading level. Definitely one of the things that really got me into reading a lot.

Mosaflower is definitely holding up.

Abebooks.com has great deals on used books. Got a hardback copy for like $4 - going to slowly build my collection of these back.

My daughter loved Redwall when she was 2yo.

So much so that my wife made her a homemade Redwall playset and made up a song based on the theme music.

Mathias saw Martin on the wall...
He said I am that is
La lala la...Redwall



Clooney the Scourge!!!

Those two weren't my favorites, more middle of the road for em - but you do get to stick with the familiar characters a good bit. I always loved Mossflower the most but enjoyed them all.
