What an awesome list. I'm exploring all of these again with my kiddo.
I do however have one confession: I'm a Giving Tree hater. LOL. True! I want to call him the Selfish Little Boy Who Took Advantage of the Sweet Giving Tree.
I remember most of these but my mind blurs on whether it is because I loved them or my boys loved them. There was this owl book that featured three baby owls. It mesmerized my younger son to no end and we read it over and over again. I wish I could remember the title of that one. Also, tub people book about a family of little plastic people that live in the tub - we would check that one out of the library almost every week for a long time. Ah, the memories.
I LOVE The Giving Tree and Green Eggs and Ham. When I worked at a pre-school, I read Dr. Seuss books all the time. I had fun doing funny voices while reading Green Eggs and Ham. When I was little, my parents met Dr. Seuss and had him autograph a book. I still have it!

ReplyDeleteI need to find those. They sound so sweet. Anything that enamors a child must be awesome.
DeleteThose are some great kids' books! Seeing them again brings back some wonderful memories :)
ReplyDeleteThose are soo cute!!!! The Giving Tree is just adorable!
ReplyDeleteUh oh. There's a conflict about The Giving Tree :)
DeleteI remember reading 'Love You Forever' with my Mom so many times. It's actually quite depressing, although definitely beautiful as well.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember Love You Forever. Hmmm...now I'm wondering why it is depressing.
