Simply Love your little momster.<br /><br />My fav childrensbook is; The Very Hungry Caterpillar - The book contains 225 words and large, colourful illustrations. It follows a caterpillar as it munches its way through a variety of edibles such as ice cream, salami, watermelon, one slice of Swiss cheese, and a lollipop before it finally pupates and emerges as a butterfly. The story teaches counting to 5, the names of the days of the week, and about different types of food. The caterpillar's diet is a fictional fantasy but the story does introduce the magic of the metamorphosis from egg to caterpillar to butterfly.<br /><br />I love this book because I had to read it over and over again for my little son. It is fun to read and the reaction of my son everytime is a nice reward.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />KittyIntruderladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089954739632030521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-13806428503749942382009-04-13T17:43:00.000-05:002009-04-13T17:43:00.000-05:00#43 I'm so happy you got first.

Even though I am a lurker and haven't posted before, I did go there and vote for you:)<BR/><BR/>My favorite children's book would have to be "I'll Love You Forever". It makes me cry just thinking about it. It is a story about a mom who says a poem throughout the book that ends "I'll love you forever" during all of the stages of her sons life. At the end when she is very old and sick he comes to her, holds her and says the poem that ends "I'll love you forever".<BR/><BR/>Congratulations!<BR/><BR/>Jen<BR/>jennischmitt@juno.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-64656939906686256702009-04-13T00:13:00.000-05:002009-04-13T00:13:00.000-05:00#42 Wowee!Great job, that is so cute!

Oh dear, Lafcadio (the Lion who Shot back) by Shel Silverstein. It always makes me feel good. It's a bit of a wacky tale...i don't think i could actually do it justice by describing it...but when you read it aloud to the kids and do some voices it's a nice treat!

Now if you haven't read this book you should. It will bring a tear to your eye. I even made a little song to go with it that I would sing to my kids (probably scarring them for life, lol).<BR/><BR/>Oh, and by the way, I saw this today and thought of you.

My dad read it to me every night when I was little. Eventually he knew all the words by heart and would try to skip parts to make the story go faster. Little did he know that I also knew the words by heart, and I would always say, "That's not how it goes, Daddy!" I still know that entire book by heart:<BR/><BR/>"Mother Bear, put your apron away. We're going on a picnic today!"

And I'm still upset about the book my fifth grade teacher was slooooowly reading to us when we moved, and I never heard the end of the story. It was about a giant who was hiding in a house, and kept getting bigger and bigger, until he filled the whole house...and then we moved and I still have the image in my head after all these years of that poor giant stuck inside the house with his arms and legs sticking out of the windows. Help me if you know the story. Fifth graders don't pay attention to details like authors and titles and such...and that was 1967, after all...Ink-Pattienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-68747876112240162692009-04-08T21:00:00.000-05:002009-04-08T21:00:00.000-05:00#35 CONGRATULATIONS Gotta love the democratic proc...#35 CONGRATULATIONS Gotta love the democratic process! <BR/><BR/>We have a silly Christmas book about cows called Santa Cows, it's just a hoot!Dee Tollaksenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546678830214527879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-28570929111227693062009-04-08T20:59:00.000-05:002009-04-08T20:59:00.000-05:00#35Lydia!

If I had to narrow it down I'd say The Velveteen Rabbit (the story of how toys become real) and The Polar Express (the story of how Santa is real), this author's illustrations are just amazing!!!

I think there's 3.<BR/>First one is But not the Hippopotamus. Sandra Boynton. I have the best video of my daughter at age 3, 'reading' it to my son, at age 2... he's sitting there shaking his head 'no' every time she reads 'but not the hippopopamdas'. <BR/>Second favourite is The Monster at the end of this Book. Starring loveable, furry ol' Grover. <BR/>Third, and equally wonderful, the Velveteen Rabbit.

This book was recently out as a movie. The movie barely resembled the book and the book is WONDERFUL. I have read it to several classes at my school and have yet to have a group of children not break out into applause at the end. It is an awesome story about the power of forgiveness!! :)Amanda Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-85399884145617409442009-04-08T18:09:00.000-05:002009-04-08T18:09:00.000-05:00#25Yeah!

Well, right now we are enjoying Anna Dewdney's "Llama Llama, Mad at Mama" (which is so funny I really like to read it over and over again), and the "Mercy Watson" series. Mercy is a pig that likes toast with a great deal of butter on it, and I can relate to that, so, I like it. (I think my kiddo likes it too, but mommy gets the ultimate story decision at night, so she is stuck with it.) <BR/><BR/>Congrats again!Kim Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566451150080736771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-56689226363149242102009-04-08T14:32:00.000-05:002009-04-08T14:32:00.000-05:00#18 (tho I think the #s are all wonky)Woo-Hoo!
