This week's prompt: What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?
(Wikipedia): The Wind in the Willows is a classic of children's literature by Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908. Alternately slow moving and fast paced, it focuses on four anthropomorphised animal characters in a pastoral version of England. The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie and celebrated for its evocation of the nature of the Thames valley.
One of my first book memories is having been given this book from my Grandma. I could read a little bit on my own then, and so I had everyone read it to me numerous times a day. I'm sure (I know) they got pretty tired of it. Once I had most of it memorized I would read it on my own. It's a classic and just thinking about it brings back wonderful childhood memories.

(Wikipedia): One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish is a 1960 children's book by Dr. Seuss. A simple rhyming book for learner readers, it is a book with a freewheeling plot about a boy and a girl, and the many amazing creatures they have for friends and pets. As of 2001, over 6 million copies of the book had been sold, placing it 13th on a list of "All-Time Bestselling Children's Books" from Publishers Weekly. Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association named the book one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children."
This book probably doesn't need much of an introduction as it is a universally popular book. Much like The Wind in the Willows, some of my earliest reading memories involve attempting Dr. Seuss books. This one in particular was my favorite, and this was actually the first book that I truly read on my own!

ReplyDeleteI had a ton of Seuss books and I'm sure my mother was keeping them for a day when I could pass them down...I kind of want to read them again and reminisce on the good ol days :-)
