    my favorite book as a small child was Chrysanthemum.  Because since my name is so strange, I felt so good someone else had a weird name too...lol

    S is still too young to know, but loves it when daddy reads "goodnight duck"

    I don't think I ever had a favorite, I just loved to read. My mom would catch me at night with a flash light under the covers. Like that would actually work at hiding me.

    My boys like Good Night Moon, Where The Wild Things Are, a Disney story collection with 20 different mini stories from movies like Nemo, Cars, Toy Story, etc. and the Very Busy Spider.

    I just loved to read!  Anything and everything I could get my  hands on.

    My little one seems to favor anything that tells how other people live.  Either in other countries and cultures or in history.  When he was about 4, one night he chose a historical story about the funeral of Abraham Lincoln for a bedtime story!

    Ahhh!! I can't remember the title but I remember bits and pieces. It goes


    Each peach, pear plum, I spy Tom Thumb. Tom Thumb....Cinderella on the stairs I spy 3 Bears. 3 Bears out hunting I spy baby Bunting..."


    I can't remember for the life of me and it keeps building on all the different children's stories and nusery rhymes, Cinderella, Three bears, Old Mother Hubbard. IF anyone knows the title I would muich appreciate the reminder.

    I loved Where the Red Fern Grows.  But like @TornadoChaser  I just loved books - I, too, would take a flashlight to bed with me.  I still read just about anything I can get my hands on.


    My son loves any and all Dr. Seuss books, to my eternal dismay.  (As an elementary teacher it's unusual - but I despise almost all Dr. Seuss books)  He loved Chicka Chicka Boom Boom until he read it so much it fell apart.  :)  He really loves any book that he can get us to read to him.


    My daughter likes to look at board books but her favorite is the B book in this Sesame Street board book series.  We only have A and B and, don't ask me why, but she will never look at the A book but LOVES that B book.....

    I liked Goodnight Moon and the Little Critter books when I was little.  Now I'll read anything I can get my hands on.

    I loved all books, I can't think of one that stood out more than another, just allof them.


    my son loves ANYTHING with dinosaurs.
  • princess_riceball@xanga

    Right now my daughter loves her Disney Princess Story book.  I think my favorite book was the one that I still can't find another copy of "Can you imagine?"
    I'd like to find it again so I could get a copy for my daughter.

    When I was home last Christmas, I took all my childhood books and reread them all, and then brought them home with me. I think Goodnight Moon, and the Runaway Bunny were my favorite, because the mommy bunny loves her little bunny so much, and both are very comforting.

    my favorite book was chicka chicka boom boom



    and my 2 yr old daughters favorite book is called While Angels Watch
  • MrsMok@xanga

    I had so many books, that I don't think I had a favorite, but I know my mom did. Random, right? It was Are You My Mother? She read that to me quite a bit.
  • xWords_Left_Unspokenx@xanga

    @lissalinn@xanga - i believe its called each peach pear plum by janet and allan ahlberg
  • IamKelleyK@xanga

    I loved Little Golden Books, specially Baby Dear and the Pokey Little Puppy.  I also enjoyed Charlotte's Web, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Where the Wild Things Are, and anything with unicorns.   So far I have some Little Golden Books for my daughter, and I've read Baby Dear to her a few times.  I think it's probably more for my own nastalgic reasons though.  ;)

    I can't remember much from my early childhood, but I absolutely loved it when my dad would sit down with my three siblings and I every night before bed and read The Chronicles of Narnia to us.  I think I was about 9 then and my siblings would have been 7, 4, and 2.  He would read with character voices and everything...it's such a sweet memory for me now.

    I love reading Dr. suse to kids. I also like this book thats about a circle looking for his missing peice, but I forget who its by. My favorite when I was little was where the wild things are.
  • WhatWeLongToBe@xanga

    As a child, I loved to read anything.  I had many favorite books!


    Right now, my son (14 months) LOVES "Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?", we read it every single night.  My daughter (2 1/2) loves Hop on Pop, I'm a Big Sister Now!, and Guess How Much I Love You.  We also read those every single night<3.
  • lissalinn@xanga

    @xWords_Left_Unspokenx@xanga - secretly I feared that it was something that simple.
  • Katja88@xanga

    @xWords_Left_Unspokenx@xanga - I had Chicka Chicka Boom Boom memorized!  I specifically remember telling people I could read it with the book upside down and backwards...


    But my favorite was, I think, "Is Your Mama a Llama?"
  • AWaters@xanga

    My favourite childhood book was Something from Nothing by Phoebe Gilman. It's the one about the grandfather who helps his grandson make a beautiful blue blanket that the little boy carries around every.

    I loved the little family of mice at the bottom of the page, and watching how they turn the blanket scraps into fabric for their home. It was the cutest thing ever!
  • dUhGrL@xanga
