One of my most *favorite* all time things is children's books. I vividly remember when the Scholastic book fair would come to our elementary school and my mom would give me money to buy a book. One year I bought Charlotte's Web and I was so excited it was mine I insisted on leaving it out on the top of my desk the rest of the school day so I could stare lovingly at it all afternoon. I'm a little obsessed. I love the story lines, the illustrations, everything about them. Well, do you remember when I posted that I bought a bookshelf from our local Border's store when it was going out of business? (still sad about that. TEAR.) Well, we finally got it painted to match Landon's nightstand (Behr Aquatic Green) and put into his room.
1. Anything Barenstein Bears. I like that they have a good moral message. I kind of want to be in the Bear family.
2. The Night Before... books by Natasha Wing. She has one for just about every holiday and season and I love the rhyming!
3. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was one of my all time favorites as a kid.
4. The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss. My sister and I both had it memorized as a kid. It was such a favorite of mine, my sister made Dr. Seuss the theme of my baby shower.
5. Dick and Jane books. Classic.
6. PJ Funnybunny books. I don't think there are too many of them but I got several for Landon recently and I really enjoyed reading them again.
And I'm sure there's more I am not thinking of right now.
What were YOUR favorite books as a kid?

I'm Brittany. I'm a wife and mom to my little boy, Landon and our new daughter, Emory! I'm a stay at home mom and I love it. My husband, Joe, is an anesthesia fellow and we are living in Arkansas for a year for him to complete his training. I love small towns, gooseberry pie, I Love Lucy, the color turquoise, antiques, leopard print, photography, dogs, crafts and cruises. Glad to meet you!

I had The Foot Book memorized as a child! I could probably still get through most of it now...left foot, right foot, feet feet feet! Oh, how many feet you meet! ;) I am a sucker for children's books as well!
OMG, the Barenstein Bears! I was obsessed as a kid! My favorite was Green Eggs & Ham. I had it memorized before I was even old enough to read.
