My favorite chapter books included the Little House series - I read those books so many times the covers fell off. I still have them in my attic. Another favorite I read over and over (and still have) was "No Flying in the House" by Betty Brock, a fantasy / mystery about a girl who discovers she is half-fairy. My favorite "Little Golden Book" as a tiny child was "The Color Kittens" by Margaret Wise Brown.Catrina Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759918426263780732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380730650602813473.post-37323342265224502582009-11-12T10:24:09.774-05:002009-11-12T10:24:09.774-05:00Thank you, Val!

Our house has lots of bookshelves devoted to kids books - and some that are touch-by-permission only.<br /><br />A few of my childhood favorites are:<br /><br />A Bag Full of Nothing by Jay Williams (actually, anything by Jay Williams)<br /><br />Mrs. Tibbett's Typewriter by Eve Merriam<br /><br />Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan<br /><br />Behold Your Queen by Gladys Malvern (I fell in love with this one around age 10)<br /><br />Now if we're talking modern favorites, I still have a growing list...vjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05877792864174685413noreply@blogger.com
