Two soft cover books- The Last Basselope by Berkely Breathed (I love his books- they are all so original.) "She squired the stuff into the basselope's twitching snarling honekr, which then immediately unsnarled." Where The Wild Things Are by Maurince Sendak (They say you must read the book before seeing the movie!) "But the wild things cried, "Oh, please don't go- we'll eat you up- we love you so!'"
Two hard cover books- If You Give A Pig A Pancake by Laura Numberoff (super cute) "When she's under the bed, she'll find your old tap shoes." Chicka Chicka abc by Bill Marthin Jr and John Archambault ( Such fun colors!) "The whole alphabet up the- Oh, no!"
Two board books - Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown (a classic) "Goodnight light and the red balloon." Guess How Much I love You by Sam McBratney (an adorable story) "'I love you right up to the moon,' he said, and closed his eyes."

And I'm a follower! And glad I am!
My favorite children's book is Dr Seuss' ABC. It's been great for teaching my kids the alphabet!

Oh, how I loooooove children's books! The ones I love the most are the ones that remind me of my childhood: Hop on Pop, Tikki Tikki Tembo, The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything, Corduroy (okay that's four). Porter's favorite book (the first one he memorized) is No David.
Yay, I love a giveaway! Happy Birthday this month!
PS I am a follower!!
My fav. was Goodnight Moon (or something like that). I just love the ones you've choose. My mom used a lot of them when she was teaching preschool. How fun!!

oh gosh, I don't know. I guess If You Give a Mouse a Cookie OR Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

I'm not a mom but I am a SUPER AUNT! I'd love to have more books for Emma. I used to LOVE Stone Soup the disney version with scrooge. I wonder if my parents still have it.....
When I was little, my favorite was The Bernstein Bears and the Spooky Old Tree. If I had to pick just ONE book to stay on my bookshelf... oh man! I dunno. Maybe The Paperbag Princess?
I'm a subscriber (and a follower)!
Hard question! When I was a kid I read Harriet The Spy about 1000 times and the copy I had literally was held together with a rubber band because the binding had broken. My older daughter now loves Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and we end up not only reading it a lot but she'll randomly turn to me and say things like "Peanut butter, peanut butter, what do you see?" while I'm making her a sandwich. It's pretty funny.

Oh man, that is SO hard. I think it actually might be "Guess how much I love you?" and I don't have the board book version, so I'd love to win!
I'm a follower!

Such a hard question! I have so many favorites, but I guess now that I have a little one I would have to say it's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"...it's my little guys favorite and we read it at least once a day so it's now my favorite just because of all the memories I have of reading it with him!
rachel_demille@yahoo.com
Okay now I'm technically a follower. And can I change my favorite book? It's actually "Abiyoyo".
I'm trying to build up our book collection for my son so this would be a great addition!
Tough pick though, I would say my favorite children's book was "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" or "Flat Stanley." The silly ones are the best.

Entry #2
cherdon@sympatico.ca
My favorite children's story is The Little Prince. I read it to Snapdragon the other day. I liked the rhythm of it, the message, and the emotional tone of the book.
One book on a shelf? If I only had one book in the whole wide world, today, I think it'd be that one.
That said, when I go to buy books as gifts, I am very partial to Wild About Books. It's a lot of fun. Oh, and Not a Box.
My favorite children's story from my childhood is : Love You Forever. I loved when my mom read that to me. She also made up a tune to the song the mother sang to her son. I now sing it to my Ethan and he smiles every time he hears it!
I also follow your blog! yippee!!
My favorite book is "You Are Special" by Max Lucado. I think it is so beautiful and I plan on reading it to my children until they have it memorized.
My favorite book was Stories by H.C. Andersen, my dad used to read them to me before bedtime.
Thanks!

My birthday was Aug. 4th!
I have such a short memory span, that for me to remember a favorite (or really, any) childhood book of mine is impossible! I can remember practically everything I read as a pre-teen and up. I know I read a lot of Bearenstein Bear books and Dr. Seuss...but I don't know if they were my favorites. My favorite book to read to my kids is "If You Give a Pig a Pancake". I love that one and it is so much fun to read.
My favorite is Jamberry, probably because it's my daughters all time fave!
Subscriber!

My most favorite children's book is "Love you Forever"...love it!
Hmmm...I don't have an August birthday, but my fourth born turns four on Monday! (Does that count?) :)
Most favorite children's book- Tumble Bumble! What a cute book, I actually have it memorized from reading it to my daughter all the time.
My most favorite book is 'Oh the places you will go'...I LOOOOOVE IT!

derekannette at gmail dot com
I was just thinking we need some new books to read to our boys! My fav children's bood is Corduroy.
My favorite book was the secret garden. My Mom would read me a chapter a night for almost a year...how mesmerized I was!
I follow
That is an impossibly difficult question, but I usually say my favorite is the Harold and the Purple Crayon series. I love the sense of imagination, and remember "getting" that at a very young age -- how cool it was that he was just creating whatever he wanted to happen. So far my son won't look at them AT ALL, but hopefully in time he will.
Easiest question ever!
"Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch. My mom used to read it to me when I was little, and I still have that same copy from when I was tiny and I read it to Carson.
Oh, and I follow you blog :)
And I subscribe
My favorite of all time is Today I Feel Like A Warm Fuzzy. I'm unable to recall who the author is.

Can I choose a favorite author instead? I love Sandra Boynton and Kevin Henkes and Laura Numeroff! Today I think I will choose "Owen's Marshmallow Chick". Cute book!
It would have to be "chicken Licken"!
Hey,
Thanks for replying to my post on MBC. Your baby is adorable! (and so bless to have reading parents) When Lucas gets a little older, you'll have to look into Before Five In a Row and Five in a Row. (google this! You will NOT regret it.)
My favorite childhood book was "Ann Likes Red" by Dorothy Seymour. Currently, my favorite is "Very Last First Time" by Jan Andrews.
Nice giveaway~

All That and a Box of Rocks
That last comment should say blessED. He's very blessed!
Anyway, I'm a follower now so here's another entry.
Thanks!!
Lisa @ ...The Box...
Yeah. Me again.
August is also my birth month. I just turned 44 on August 3rd. (Can you believe I just admitted that??) My oldest is almost 19 and my youngest is 3. Isn't that crazy?
Okay. I'm finished now. :o)
Lisa @ ....The Box....
I like Goodnight Moon
sylviawhit@gmail.com
As a child my favorite was the Little Princess - I still have that old book! :-)
Great giveaway! I'd love for my little one to have some of these classics.
My childhood favorites are Horton Hatches the Egg and The "B" Book. As a pre-k teacher (and mother of 3) I have found so many more books that are just wonderful.
I have lots of favorites. One of our favorites is "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"
natashacloutier@yahoo.com

i love goodnight moon
my birthday is also in august!
Ok well being a pre school teacher, I have got to say in the classroom, The Very Hungry Caterpillar is THEE best! Every child in my class loved the paintings and the story. It is so good for practicing counting, colors, types of food, and science (caterpillar becoming a butterfly).
My personal fav is Love you Forever - "I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." I remember my mom reading it to me, and now I whisper it in Ada's ear every night.
I am a follower of the blog.
One cute idea I had to share - when the work ladies put on a baby shower for me this year, they included on the invitation to "Bring a favorite book to help start Ada's library." (Early Childhood workers are the smartest!) I must've got 35+ books - WHAT a great idea!
I love to read "I Love You All The Time" to my son.
I subscribe
My most favoritest book probably is Ten apples up on top. It was my first read and I'm stickin' to it,

"The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales" rates high up on our list. Hilarious. Plus, it is long enough and you can read sections so it doesn't get old.
I don't think I could pick just one favorite. But I do love The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I read it to my baby girl while she was still in the womb.
My favorite children's book is "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds. Very inspirational for a perfectionist like me.
