Great picks! My favourites were "In A People House" and the "Little House on the Prairie" series. My husbands was "The Digging-est Dog" (you gotta read this!) and "Mike Mulligan & His Steamshovel". .-= Sarah @ Mum In Bloom´s last blog ..Recipe- Curried Tomatoe Bouillabaisse =-.

We just had "The Duchess Bakes a Cake" from the library and I recognized it from my childhood, too! "A lovely, light, luscious, delectible cake!" :o) One of my childhood favorites is "The Bedspread" by Sylvia Fair. Two bedridden elderly sisters set out to decorate their bedspread (They of course share an enormous bed, one at each end.) They decide to embroider their childhood home so that both ends of the spread "match" each other. As the reader soon finds out, however, the two ends are not symmetrical... one sister practices her stiches neatly, and the other appliques happy memories. Love it! .-= Laurie´s last blog ..Robbie Fix =-.

I’m loving reading through your site! My grandmother had a huge collection of Thornton Burgess books and she’d read them to us when we visited. I still love to read through them. Richard Scarry was also a big favorite. And we had lots and lots of Dr. Suess books.

I am off to search for Never Tease a Weasel, that sounds very familiar!

Richard Scary and Mercer Mayer and the Little House books.

One of my very favorites was Never Tease a Weasel and I just found it in a thrift store this week with the original picture on the cover!
