what are some of your favorite children's books?

mine are Toni and Slade morrison's THE BOOK OF MEAN PEOPLE and Jean Lee Patindol's PAPA'S HOUSE, MAMA'S HOUSE.

The Giving Tree, and Where the Wild Things Are.

I loved the Little House on the Praire books and the Ramona books!!!!

Yes to Little House on the Prairie and Ramona Quimby, and also The Boxcar Children and The Berenstain Bears.

Anything by Dr. Seuss. My favorites are Scrambled Eggs Super and Horton Hatches the Egg.

My all time favorite is Just so Stories. I still have the copy I owned when I was about ten years old. Dr. Suess is a close second particularly The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins.

I always loved (and still do) Free to Be You and Me by Marlo Thomas, The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf, Miss Nelson is Missing by Harry Allard, among others.

I loved the Little House books too - as a mother I really loved all the Alfie books by Shirley Hughes. The illustrations were great. Oh! Almost forgot! The Tiger Who Came To Tea by Judith Kerr is just wonderful.
