One of my favorite childhood books was called "Trees" I blogged about it a few years ago. I also loved that book "A Giant Jam Sandwich" and "Sylvester and the Magic Pebble."Marnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16510374117604167816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36493012.post-22933866215168195812010-03-28T15:47:15.407-06:002010-03-28T15:47:15.407-06:00I loved Henry's Awful Mistake!

And now that I have a son named Henry I'll definitely have to get him a copy.<br /><br />We had a ton of books growing up so I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but I do know that we liked the Frog and Toad books, Amelia Bedelia, and everything by Roald Dahl. My favorites when I was a little older were The Indian in the Cupboard and Harriet the Spy. I still read both of those every once in awhile!Solveig Atwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282217576305846194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36493012.post-32804580759523496182010-03-27T16:34:56.702-06:002010-03-27T16:34:56.702-06:00We had the Henry's awful mistake.

I could never understand how the whole house floated away because of a leaky pipe.<br /><br />And cloudy with a chance of meatballs was my FAVORITE book to get from the library. I don't remember if there are donuts, but after reading it I was always hungry and wanted donuts.<br /><br />If you want to talk about food-obsession books, don't forget James and the Giant Peach. I always CRAVED peaches while I was reading that book. But I guess at least peaches are healthy.Elissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14044290305191952939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36493012.post-6828458915900275122010-03-26T22:19:25.858-06:002010-03-26T22:19:25.858-06:00Tami, it was kind of a joke...These books really d...Tami, it was kind of a joke...These books really didn't cause childhood scars or anything...I'm more than positive it is ok for kids to read these books...My sister and I just had a fun time relating our lives to children's books.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457923626670873884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36493012.post-42974712398067665742010-03-26T17:04:02.526-06:002010-03-26T17:04:02.526-06:00Mmmm.

We don't buy it (of course), but I do love white bread.Camihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07169406203636919837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36493012.post-18471345389831068662010-03-26T15:12:10.972-06:002010-03-26T15:12:10.972-06:00We have the book "Cloudy with Chance of Meatb...We have the book "Cloudy with Chance of Meatballs". My kids really like it. I think right now they wouldn't even know what white bread was versus wheat bread...we just eat wheat bread. And I never even thought about it causing problems. My boys just think it is silly. I haven't read the other two...now I'm curious about their stories too!Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12318816064772747351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36493012.post-23021796133163611152010-03-26T14:19:11.559-06:002010-03-26T14:19:11.559-06:00I haven't read any of these books.

I think you are ok watching the movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" - actually teaches that excess isn't best.<br /><br />I'm curious about the books - I may need to come over and read them... :)Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551089008754543536noreply@blogger.com
