Favorite Children's Book
This may have been used before but I am doing a grant proposal for a children's library and it got me thinking about my favorite children's book--
Mine was The Story of Ping
What was yours?

There's a Wocket in my Pocket & Green Eggs and Ham
You can't go wrong w/Dr. Seuss.
I also loved The Little Princess & The Secret Garden.

I, too was a child of the Berenstein Bears, Paddington, Ramona Quimby, and Judy Blume books, but these were some of my favorites and most cherished:
Good Night Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
Love You Foreverr by Robert N. Munsch and Sheila McGraw
I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be...
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff
The Giving Tree and Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

I adored all of Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" books.
I also love "Goodnight Moon". Reminds me of when my girls were babies and I'd read it to them every night

The Giving Tree - still brings a tear to my eye
Are You There God? It's Me Margaret - too bad it's still banned in many schools.
A current book I read w/my 6th graders is The Giver. That's an amazing book w/out the traditional "storybook" ending.
