I think it would be Black Beauty or Secret Garden. I never had any early children't books.

As a former children's librarian, I always liked the Carl books--adventures of a dog, no words, and those books let the children make up their own stories. The Carl books put books into the hands of children who couldn't, or wouldn't read and gave them a positive experience. Then I would move the little readers right on to Gibbon's "Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire" followed by "War and Peace"!

Let's see- using only what I know I always have on hand it would have to be Shepherd's Pie- vegetarian style. Or a pizza from Dimitri's on the corner! Trish

The white broom/vac that was on TV about 10-12 years ago- my mom and I each got one and hated it, it was feeble and pathetic. I think we paid about $50 for each one and probably got $2 for it at a yard sale. lol Learned my lesson after that, I haven't bought anything since unless I've personally tried it first. I LOVE my Swiffer rechargable vacuum.

I finally accepted the idea that I should change what I can, let go of what I can't and have the true wisdom to know the difference. This new way of life has had a dramatic effect on my ability to be content and relax to enjoy happiness.

You bet. I just got home yesterday from a bus trip to Tama, Iowa. An overnight trip. I've also been to Las Vegas 7 or 8 times. Butch and I were married there on 3/23/93 at 3:30 (I like the # thing). We also stopped in Reno on our way home from our Seattle/Oregon trip in 1998. I go over to the boats in Council Bluffs, Iowa once or twice a year. Linda, I think they've improved the smoke problem a lot in the last few years. They also have NON-smoking areas in most casinos too. Leslie

I love reading anything Dr. Suess out loud, especially Yurtle the Turtle. For older kids (mainly girls)most anything by Judy Bloom.

When I was a kid the library had a series of books for children. They were biographies of famous people written to be understood by kids. I remember I really liked reading about Molly Pitcher, Juliet Low and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Wish I could find those!

As a child, Secret Garden.

As for books being published today, anything by Lindsay Barrett George.

I don't remember specific books, but I know they were animal books. I remember my first grade teacher reading us a chapter a day and that is what got me started reading.

"Oh The Places You'll Go" - A Dr. Seuss Book is right
up there - but I can't think of a Children's book
that I don't like. Never cared much for Maurice Sendak,
but he always wins awards, so see what I know.

I really liked the Borrowers books. Maybe that's why I have such an affinity for little things.

All the Laura Ingalls Wilder "Little House" books are among my very favorites.
I read the entire series at least once a year, have done so since the early 80s.

"The Wind in the Willows" has always been special for me. My absolute favourite teacher read it to us when we were in Grade 4 and it was the first book that I ever asked for as a present for Christmas. She also read us "The Water Babies" and "The Mill on the Floss".
