My friend Marcie (see sidebar) decided to come up with "Tell all Tuesday". Since it is Wednesday I decided it was time to get to this weeks subject! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CHILDREN'S BOOK?
There is no way I could choose my favorite children's book. I can never have enough books, and someday we will have a library with cozy chairs and perfect lighting to enjoy them all. I will list a few of my favorite books here, but this only scratches the surface of my love for literature.
A classic from my childhood that my mother read to me often!
I hope my kids will always use their imagination like Harold!
Maurice Sendak is brilliant and I actually love everything he did, but this one is an obvious classic. Funny thing how the Max in this book sounds a lot like my Max!
Still cannot get through this book without crying. Love EVERYTHING Shel Silverstein does.
Another tear jerker. My kids think I'm crazy when I read it to them....someday they will understand!
Last, but not least.....the genius Dr. Seuss. I love that Max was born on his birthday! Someday he will have a Dr. Seuss birthday party! Sue, start coming up with your brilliant ides for that one!

Wow, what an awesome post! I'm so glad Marcie started this up. I'm getting such good ideas from you all. I love the passion you have for children's books. A library room would be fun, huh! Alas, in my house it wouldn't be cozy, just probably one more dirty room!
Great list. I adore Frances books and can't wait to check out Harold and the purple crayon.
Great list!
I dream about a library- one with bookshelves so high I'd need one of those rolling ladders to reach the ones on top.
Every time I want to read Love You Forever to my daughter she looks at me suspiciously and asks if I'm going to cry this time...to which I answer "no" But I ALWAYS do. (It's the same with the giving tree..) I'm such a sap.
