Oh yes!! Day two of Children's books brings The Red Ripe Strawberry. Do you ever just remember a moment with a scent?? I can actually remember how this book smelled as you pulled each page over the next :) There's something purely magical about that, don't you think?!?
My second pick is The Story about Ping. This book bordered on scary for me as I always became so nervous for little Ping as we neared the end of his tale as I new he'd get his little duck booty smacked for good measure. But beyond that, it has remained a very important childhood book for me :)
I saved my very favorite for last so be sure to check back tomorrow!!
Happy Thursday!!
7 Notes:
You should check out Bayard and their series of StoryBoxBooks, AdventureBoxBooks, and DiscoveryBoxBooks.
There's lots going on too:
This Month Storybox has guest illustrator Helen Oxenbury featured.
There's a Readathon happening in UK and Ireland - http://discoveryboxbooks.com/readathon.php
There's a Ghost Drawing competition in AdventureBoxBooks assiciated with the Polka Theatre ( http://www.adventureboxbooks.com/competition.php )
I remember the story about the mouse...but not the duck. The most important childhood book for me was a book called"No No Joan" because it was the first book I had ever read. I lost it a few years ago, and have been looking for another copy...
Wow - love your book round-up. These are so fun to look at - and even remember!
this has been really fun! i love your picks, even if i never heard of them! lol
Wonderful books!!
I'm tagging you! Here is what you do. List 7 things about yourself and then go tag 7 other people!! Have fun!!
What a fun feature idea! And I don't think I've ever seen either of these two books. I'll keep them in mind for any future baby bees!
