Sorry for not posting for the past few days. I've actually been busy going through old pictures with my mom. We have more photo albums than you can imagine. While going through them I kept noticing all the pictures of me reading as a kid (I just have to say, I was a weird kid) and remembered some of my favorite children's books. So today I'm going to do a brief post about those.
As some of you may know, I've had a stuffed blue bunny since the day I was born. It's been with me every day of my life and I developed a strong love of bunnies; because of this a lot of my favorite children's books have to do with bunnies.
Here's a few of my favorite bunny books:
-The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams
-If You Were My Bunny by Kate McMullan
-Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney
-Fuzzy Rabbit by Rosemary Billam
I'm also a big fan of the Cordury books. For those of you who haven't read these, they're about a teddy bear owned by a girl named Lisa and the adventures he has.
-Cordury and A Pocket for Cordury by Don Freeman
And of course I love fairy tales. There were a few specific fairy tale books I loved most and I still own two of them. These weren't the Disney version, but the originals by the Grimm brothers and Hans Christian Andersen. If you haven't read the original versions then you probably don't know that they aren't all happy stories.
These are only some of my favorite children's books but they're the ones that stick out the most in my memories. What are some of your favorite children's books? Are any of them the same as my favorites?
Thanks for reading,
Erin a.k.a. Bookworm
This post really tugged at my heartstrings as I looked back upon the books I loved as a child. The Velveteen Rabbit was one of my favorites also when I was younger. I have read Corduroy and Guess How Much I Love You to Rachel probably a hundred times. I instilled a deep love for reading in my daughter from birth and I hope she will carry it with her for life as I have.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed the post. And I love that you've read those books to Rachel. Between the two of us we're going to make sure she loves reading.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely we will!
