Children's Books

As long as I can remember, I have always liked reading Dr. Seuss books. They are fun and whitty. I think my favorite has to be Green Eggs and Ham. Adam, the little boy I nanny, loves The Cat in the Hat.

The first book I remember reading all by myself was Mr. Pine's Mixed Up Signs by Leonard Kessler. I remember reading this book over and over and over again. I loved it. I also remember reading a lot of the old Little Golden Books. They were great. Another favorite book was Mickey and the Magic Grinder. I think this is the name of it. I did search for it on the internet but could not find it. Does anyone remember it?

I was introduced to a new author not long ago. Peter H. Reynold has written a cute little book called The Dot. It is a cute story about a little girl named Vashti who is sitting in her art class after everyone has left. Her teacher comes up to her and asks where her drawing is. Vashti told her teacher she can't draw but her teacher ends up convincing her to do something. Vashti puts a dot on the paper and her teacher asks her to sign it. When Vasti comes back to class, she sees her dot in a frame behind the teachers desk. This inspires her to draw. Find out more by picking the book up and reading it. It will really make you smile. I think it is a must have for all classrooms.

So, tell me what your favorite childrens book or author is. I want to know, just in case I haven't heard of it. What is the first book you remember reading as a child or being read to? What are your favorite book and childhood memories?

Happy reading!!!
