...Some of my favourite books as a little girl were:<br /><br />Henry's Awful Mistake<br />Socks for Supper<br />Who Put the Pepper in the Pot<br /><br />These are all really hard to find today, and my hubby had to pay about 35 dollars to get me a used copy of one of them. We are still working on the other two, since my childhood ones were sold in a garage sale or something.Jolene - EverydayFoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490816021651698189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-68359511670392382822011-08-23T18:13:08.135-05:002011-08-23T18:13:08.135-05:00Wahoo, I am proud of the fact that I have read bas...Wahoo, I am proud of the fact that I have read basically every book or series on this list, I must be doing my job at a kindergarten teacher.

But favorite classics? wow - tough question. I think any of the books by Marguerite Henry would be winners - all of 'em about horses and ponies - like Misty of Chincoteauge and Stormy. and always with wonderful illustrations. (No, I didn't read them to you - just thought of them now!) and you're not going to believe it but I loved reading the Bobbsie Twins - couldn't wait to get the new books ....it's a long running series...you should check it out. I bet the girls would love them, even though there are few if any pictures. Not sure. But great for the little girls cuz the twins are "little" kids!Ohhttp://westcobich.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-87568056151523350492011-08-22T22:02:11.004-05:002011-08-22T22:02:11.004-05:00Golden books are always some of my go to books for...Golden books are always some of my go to books for friends kids!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840515813374990142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-45971289043157155952011-08-22T21:48:40.589-05:002011-08-22T21:48:40.589-05:00What a great post, Lisa, and timely in that I will...What a great post, Lisa, and timely in that I will soon be buying a book gift for a young girl!<br /><br />I loved the Trixie Belden mysteries -- the first in a long line of mysteries, I suppose!
