Curious George rules! As well as the Very Hungry Caterpillar, Goodnight Moon, and our holiday fave, The Polar Express.

The childhood read i have the most fond memories of is the dutch book series of Sanne and the talking had (Sanne is the girls main character of the book) one day she gets a gift and that is a lovely red hat. But she discovers something..<BR/>When she puts the hat on she can talk with animals! It is a serie that makes kids aware of environmental and animal related issues and that you have to treat animals good and to help them if it is needed.<BR/>here you can see a picture of the first book i read of this serie: it is called ''the talking hat; a monkey in the classroom!''<BR/>(sanne and her class are going on a trip to the zoo, and there a little monkey sneaks in sannes backpack..<BR/><BR/>http://www.qoop.nl/showimage.php?artikelID=5032037<BR/><BR/>This was the first book i read of this serie, i get it for my 7th birthday from my aunt. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-51211223581864677252007-12-16T10:52:00.000-08:002007-12-16T10:52:00.000-08:00What a wonderful tradition!

We love anything by Sandra Boynton, Eric Carle, and many others. Our current favorite is Snowmen at Christmas. The boys are convinced that our huge blowup snowman takes off after they are asleep to have his own Christmas celebration with other snowmen, just like the story.<BR/>When I was young I remember being quite fond of Pippi Longstocking. :)stephhalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836703686468306571noreply@blogger.com
