The Fourteen Bears in Summer and Winter. now out of print, but i thankfully still have it so i can pass it on once the little guy is out of the rip-apart-alll-books phase.
on a side note - just look at how long charlotte’s hair is getting!! it is so beautiful!
Shel Silverstein’s Where the Sidewalk Ends. Love silly poems.
I read The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes over and over as a child! I still love it!
the fairy tales. a scarily illustrated little red riding hood in particular.
From the time I was around 7 yrs until my dad told me I was old enough to read it on my own, i insisted my dad read my Tom Sawyer before bed every night. My mom just wuld not do because I loved the way my dad made each character sound just right. They weren’t merely words but actual people on thrilling adventures. I loved it.

My sister and I read “It’s Saturday” every day of the week. “The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes” was also a favorite.
I remember my dad reading Uncle Wiggly stories to us every night before bed. My sisters and I loved those stories.
“The Goat Parade” was totally my favorite.
“The Fourteen Bears in Summer & Winter”
I can still name all the bears without cheating :-)I didn’t get into reading much until about middle school, but for some reason as a little tike I remember reading ‘Ira Sleeps Over” ALL the time by myself.
Shel Silverstein and a book called Dear Milli pop into my head. Oh and when I was really little Diunner Time the pop up book
It was a book that I for the life of me cannot remember the title of. It was the first book I ever read on my own and I was telling my husband the other day that I can still see the cover of it perfectly in my head and I’ve looked for it for years, because I’d love to find it for my son. He just turned 3 and for his birthday, his dad picked him out “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein - which was really special because it was my husband’s all time favorite when he was a kid. It was so cool to be able to tell our son that Daddy used to read that same book to all of his brothers and sisters when he was little. :-)
My favorite was “Hamilton”, which was about a really fat pig. I’m sure it’s out of print now. I can’t even find it on Amazon go link you to it!
When I was little, I could never get enough of the book Come Follow Me to the Secret World of Elves and Fairies and Gnomes and Trolls. Alas, I did not actually own this book, but my closest friend did! There was a period where every time I visited her, I asked to read this book as soon as I walked in the door. Not too surprisingly, she started hiding it before my arrival, as she really didn’t want to sit around reading a book the whole time I was visiting!
The Ordinary Princess is what I remember reading over and over again. Still have the ol’ beat book too.
no doubt my favorite book to actually READ was The Cat in the Hat. Loved it. read it over and over and over again!
Madeline!
I have the text entirely memorized and have had since forever ... So I must have read it more than a few times!I have to admit Madeline is a good one & not because it is also my daughter’s name. We do have an aweful lot of Madeline stuff al lover our house.
I loved Litle House on the Prarie- the book not the show
When I was little I had a scratch-&-sniff book called The Sweet Smell of Christmas. Boy, how I loved that book! Frankly, the concept is a bit disgusting to me now (I mean, scratch and sniff the scent of Christmas trees, gingerbread cookies, candycanes .... Yuck!). But who can fully explain the likes and loves of a small child!
I loved Nancy Drew as well. when I was 11, my dad bought me the 1st 10 of the series and I read them over and over until I had practically memorized them.
I LOVED THE BOBBSEYS TWINS SERIES.
I loved the little house on the prairie books.
There is a series of early reader books about a character named Pippa Mouse that I absolutely loved as a child! I read them over and over again. I just checked on the author’s name - Betty Boegehold.
The Cat in the Hat was the best
I had a great love of all things related to fairies, so naturally, I loved reading the book “Faeries” by Brian Froud over and over again. I also liked the companion book “Gnomes” by Will Huygen quite a bit.
My parents tell me Horton Hears a Who was my 1st favorite book and the 1st book I insisted they read to me over and over again

I had a book called Daycare Teddy Bear that I loved! It wasn’t a very popular book but it was my favorite. I still have it.
I’m a preschool teacher and would love to add this book to our library!
