You can talk about books you read as a child if you like or about the books you love for kids these days! My favourite these days is GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU by Sam Mcbratney and Anita Jeram it's really sweet...it's all about a baby rabbit asking his daddy how much he loves him and they compete to see who can "love" the most until in the end the little one says "i love you right up to the moon" only for the dad to reply "i love you right up to the moon...AND BACK!" lol it really is the sweetest little book...i had a lot of favourites when i was little...i loved the Malory Towers series by Enid Blyton, anything by Roald Dahl and i had a lovely little book called "The Last Noo Noo" about a little monster being weaned off his dummy...so sweet! Oh and these days also, I love the Pocket Postman Series which comes with envelopes built into the pages with real letters inside! So how about everyone else...tell us about your favourites? 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.

It's how I learned to read by the time I was three, and I could recite it word-for-word. Today, I adore the children's author, Sandra Boynton. *Love in Christ from Mary* 1 Peter 2:4-5 Vote my agency, Seminole Sitters, the "Best Overall Business" in Tallahassee for the 2007 Tally Awards at EverythingTallahassee.com!!!    Report

When I was about 3 or 4, my mom would read me a different nursery rhyme every night, until we read every single one in the book, then we would start all over again. That's when I started writing my own "rhymie stories" That's what I called it when I was little :-P Now I'm really into poetry. COCOA PUFF DYER 4/4/06-8/18/07 THE BEST CAT A HUMAN COULD EVER HAVE.
