    I like a lot of the kid’s books. The most orginally of my favorites is “The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales.” I like the spoofs.

    The children’s book I hate to love is “I’ll Love You Forever”. We have four grown/growing boys and this story makes me cry every time I read it!

    What fun! My grandkids loved ‘baby talk’ for some reason. My favorite was probably the “my book house’ series, especially one of hte early volumes, ‘in the nursery.’ It was filled with fairy tales from other cultures and helped make me curious about and, I think, more accepting of differences in the world.

  9. # Stacyon 22 Apr 2008 at 7:20 am

    I love Goodnight Moon, hopefully my 3.5 month old will sit through the whole thing one day

    My favorite children’s book - wow - it’s hard to pick just one! I’d have to say The Little House by Virginia Burton. It was one of my favorites as a child, and I still have my childhood copy, which I now read to my little ones - and yes, it’s become one of their all-time favorites too! (They also love hearing about how it was read to me when I was a little girl!)

    Thank you for the giveaway. I know if we are fortunate enough to win, we will have many hours of pleasure with these stories, coz Alli and Adam’s favorite phrase is “Read it again, nana!” ;)
