Do you have a favourite picture book, either from your own childhood, or reading to you children?
I remember a few books from childhood:

The Poky Little Puppy by Janette Sebring Lowrey
Harry The Dirty Dog by Gene Zion
Lyle, Lyle the Crocodile by Bernard Waber
The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf
Baby Dear
Winnie the Pooh Meets Gopher
Curious George
Little Critter Books by Mercer Mayer
Just Go To Bed & I Was So Mad
Richard Scarry's Books
Old Hat, New Hat
Ten In The Bed
Jillian Jiggs
Goodnight Moon
Each Peach Pear Plum - there is a picture in my sidebar of my sons reading this book
Goodnight Moon
What a fun trip down memory lane! Thanks Rebecca.

Of course! 'Goodnight Moon'.
How could I forget that one?
My response is here.
ok, I do remember reading my niece Goodnight Moon!
Personally, I seem to have blocked out most of my childhood. Except one collection of fairy tales, name unknown, I can't remember being read anything.
Maybe why I learned to read at an early age. :-)
Great choices!

I love your post Nise. It's so sweet. My girls love 'Goodnight Moon' as well. There are so many that it'd be crazy to try and list them all! :)
