Great questions--<BR/><BR/>Hmmm, first book I remember having read to me was Harold and the Purple Crayon, though I'm sure the first was actually the Bible! :] I heart Harold still.<BR/><BR/>My fave book as a child was Ginnie and Geneva by Catherine Wooley. I'm waiting to find a copy on-line at Powell's or Logos that doesn't cost more than $75.00. I want it bad.<BR/><BR/>My favorite children's book NOW? That is so hard. I think I might have to say Jerry Spinelli's Crash. I think it is near perfect.<BR/><BR/>Hope you are swell, Donna!<BR/>Mary HersheyMary Hersheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268062901264527270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455470936377851195.post-18143958462083183692008-05-20T19:08:00.000-04:002008-05-20T19:08:00.000-04:00Good questions!1.

I hadn't looked at it for years and the pictures were so familiar!<BR/>2. Definitely <I>My Fierce Tiger</I>, by James Hepburn. Still love it.<BR/>3. Is it weak to say <I>Bridge to Terabithia</I> also? If so, then I'll go with <I>The Giver</I>.Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277260387578439327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455470936377851195.post-48176828186227603682008-05-20T17:21:00.000-04:002008-05-20T17:21:00.000-04:00I hope your book is doing well!!!

I answered your questions on the blueboard.<BR/><BR/>I still have most of my childhood books on my shelf thanks to my parents who hauled them around for me until I got settled enough to get them (I'm 38 with 3 kids). I have all the Little House books, even though they are kind of stinky and moldy.Stephanie J.

Also, I wasn't much of a reader as a kid. But I do remember the first book I got out of the library and really loved -- Dr. Doolittle. And I was also handed down one of my brothers' set of Chip Hilton books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
