   What was your favorite book when you were little?
   
   Mine was Are You My Mother?  My 2 year old loves being read to at night so I was looking for some ideas.

   When I was really young, it was one of those Little Golden Books. But the first book I remember reading more than once, was Charlotte's Web.

   It was a Golden Book, called The Sailor Dog.  The dog's name was Scuppers and I used to look through that little book all the times, studying each page.  I recently bought a copy from Ebay and even at my age, I get a funny nostalgic feeling when thumbing through it.

   Aged about 10, I had a book called 'Wings Over Tewkesbury'. Tewkesbury is a town in southern England. It was about 2 twin boys about my age then. There father was an officer in the US airforce based near the town. The story was of course the scrapes that the young boys got up to.
   Thanks for the memory.
   Best Wishes.

   I have a few favorites from my childhood - The Little Engine That Could (became a mantra for me) and I'll Love You Forever. I am a first grade teacher and I can tell you that 6 and 7 yr olds LOVE SkippyJon Jones. Ok, ok I love reading it too You might need to wait a few years for that one, though. Great job reading with your young one. It does amazing things for their brains and sets them up for life!

   My favorite were the Gertrude Warner books "The Boxcar Children".  I read those books over and over.  Such an adventure!
