What are some of your favorite books from your childhood? I have several that are still in my collection from when I was a kid. Being that I work in a bookstore, I have the "honor" of suggesting books in our Staff Recommends bay. Two of the books I've suggested have always been favorites: Mother Goose (illustrated by Gyo Fujikawa) and The Random House Book of Fairy Tales. I can't explain why, but like songs, these books bring back such wonderful memories for me. They bring back a sense of comfort and here's a list of favorites.
Mother Goose (illustrations by Gyo Fujikawa)
The Random House Book of Fairy Tales
A Surprise for Your Eyes
Giorgio's Village (Tomie de Paola)
Superscope Storyteller fairy tales book and tape combos
Okay, this was a totally random post but I was just thinking about some of my favorites while reading to Brad tonight.

This is a great post and you should link it up to my Feed Me Books Friday this week. We're all about moms who love great children's books.
I think I would enjoy working in a bookstore too.
You know what's scary? While sitting here and reading your post I cannot think of one book that has remained with me since my childhood. Of course I've read the usual suspects of children's books (Green Eggs & Ham, Curious George, The Little Engine That Can) but I cannot name one single book that made a difference.
At the age of 12, I read S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders. That is probably the book which got me started to reading books.
Thanks, Janna! I think I will link this post. I love your Feed Me Books Friday posts.
Don, The Outsiders was a wonderful book! I liked all of SE Hinton's books. Reading is one of my biggest passions.

Oh, Fairy Tales! My kids are really into them now. Thanks for the reminder with these classics!
Yeah! you linked up!
I'm having my B's 2nd birthday party at a free exhibit called Fairy Tale Village in the mall. I can't wait for the kids to see life size sets of the fairy tales.
A book from Childhood I remember would be Harry the Dirty Dog, and Blueberries for Sal. And when I was older my mom and i read through the Laura Ingalls books.
I hope you'll share more with us.
Thanks for sharing these books! I love FMBF!! :)
