So, Feature &
Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and AlisonCanRead. It's where you answer the
weekly question and then link yourself and you go and check out other blogs of your
interest, helping to support out endeavors as a community. Also, do it just
because it's fun! :)
Q: What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorite books to read to them?
A: I was crazy about books in general, but there are some that stand out for me as a kid. I do not have kids yet, and never was much of a babysitter, so these ones are all my own bucket of nostalgia. Here's some of the particularly vivid ones that have stuck with me:
My especial obsessions were probably Corduroy, Piggie Pie, Stellaluna, and If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. Anything Franklin, Little Critter, or Clifford as well! I can't wait to see your childhood favorites and I hope
you have a great Friday! Thanks so much for stopping by! :) I do prefer
Bloglovin' follows, but am also trying to build up my Facebook and Twitter
followings (especially my Facebook page). All the links are on the right
sidebar! <3 Also, please vote on my October Read-Along Poll! Thanks! :)

Piggie Pie is an awesome book, crazy cover and all. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHopping through. Love Cordoroy. I haven't read If YOu Give a Mouse a Cookie, but it looks like the type of book I'd love.
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
If You Give A Mouse A Cookie is awesome, you should totally read it! :) Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteOh you've got some great ones on there! I can't believe how many I've forgotten. I think I'm going to spend some time reading some old picture books this weekend just for old times sake!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. New follower :-)
Berls @ <a href="http://fantasyismorefun.com>Fantasy is More Fun</a>
I know, I had forgotten a lot of them as well. I can't believe they stuck well enough after almost 20 years that I could remember ten of them! :) Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteI adore Stellaluna and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie! I have a tendency to quote the latter from time to time when someone wants something after they've just asked me for something else. Haha!
ReplyDeleteMy FF
I should start quoting from that one too! :) LOL Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love so many of these!

Piggie Pie is awesome Meredith! Check it out from the library and you'll find out! :)
DeleteHey, great picks. I enjoy reading about everyone's childhood reading memories. Unfortunately, I don't know any of your guy's books because I'm from Germany and we had different books over here.

I don't know it Piggie Pie is real by that name, but I do think Pork Pie exists! :) Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI loved Clifford! You've got some fabulous choices here :) Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteTraci @ Mad Hatter Reads
Thank you! :) I had almost forgotten Clifford and was hitting myself upside the head. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThere's a newish book out called "Clink" which is kind of a retelling of "Corduroy" except instead of being a bear that nobody wants, Clink is a robot that no one wants. You should check it out! I like it a lot. (And of course I love "Corduroy," too!).
ReplyDeleteHere's my FF, if you're interested:

And here's a "Clink" link:

Thanks for telling me about Clink and for stopping by this week! :) Sounds like an interesting retelling.
DeleteStopping by for the first time...oh my Miss Nelson is Missing!! I remember that book. OH, I totally forgot that. I think I need to get that for my son. Kids books are so fun :)
