These are a few of my favorite things...

Something I have always liked to do is read. I remember, as a child,  coming home from the library with a pile of books, and reading until my eyes were tired or my head ached! Now, I enjoy reading to our children. I would rather have less books, with story lines that spark imagination and pictures that capture attention, than scores of books with mediocre pictures and predictable stories.

Here is a few of our favorite children's books.

The American Girl series
Grandma's Attic series
Virginia Lee Burton treasury - The Little House, Mike Mulligan, Katy and the Big Snow, Maybelle the Cable Car
The World of Robert McCloskey - Lentil,  Make Way for the Ducklings, One Morning in Maine, Blueberries for Sal
Holling C. Holling - Paddle to the Sea
Max Lucado - Wemmicks books and All You Ever Need
Elizabeth George - God's Wisdom for Little Girls
Stranger in the Woods by Carl R. Sams & Jean Stoick
James Herriot's Treasury (our boys really like this one!)
Are You There, Baby Bear? by Catherine Walters

I would love to hear your list too!
