Favorite Childhood Books

I was very lucky to have been exposed to reading at a very young age.

I still remember my favorite childhood books.

"The Story of Ferdinand" is one of my earliest memories of favorite stories.

I guess I related to just wanting to smell the flowers...

My sisters and I used to fight over who would check out
"The Lonely Doll" from the public library.

The pictures were so fascinating.

 

 I wouldn't say "Green Eggs and Ham" was one of my favorite books,

but it was surely memorable.

Dr. Seuss was a little harsh for my young sensibilities... ;-)

 I loved the "Frog and Toad" books!

If I remember correctly, they were one of those books
you'd order from a school catalog.

  

Pippi Longstocking was my first hero and inspiration.

I just HAD to see the movies when they aired on TV.

I even tried sleeping with my feet on my pillow several times.

I used to check "Little Sioux Girl" out from the school library
- over and over again.

With the exception of Green Eggs and Ham and Little Sioux Girl,

I've been able to reacquire all these books in my home library.

I still love to read them.
