I loved this picture on the wall of the classroom.
After I sat with about five different kids individually and listened to then read to me, I read for the class as a whole. I read this book.
All this got me thinking about kids' books. I had a lot of favorites growing up, but this one was always a frontrunner. The illustrations are amazing, even after all these years.
What were your favorite books as a child? Let me know - I may just order them for Charlie.
