I should also note that this very abbreviated list was inspired by Alicia Paulson's lovely post 'The Start' over at Posie Gets Cozy. She described the nostalgia and importance of best-loved books from childhood so well. The comments are worth a read, too. What about you? What book from your childhood would you love to share with someone else?

Great list, Angela. Yael Rose and I have shared many of these, might I also suggest "Where the Sidewalk Ends"-Shel Silverstein. I think we will read The Secret Life of Bees together this summer. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteIn our house, The Seven Silly Eaters by Mary Ann Hoberman has been a big hit. It was published int he late '90s but I wish I had it when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteThe Borrowers, The Twenty-One Balloons, Danny The Champion of the World, Gone-Away Lake, & The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. :) I still read all these almost every year.
ReplyDeleteGreat books ladies!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I completely forgot about "Miss Rumphius" by Barbara Cooney.
