And it's fun to reminisce with their parents about the books we read together when they were kids. Bought Sol and Hank each copies of Pat the Bunny, Where the Wild Things Are, Pierre, Goodnight Moon, Katy and the Big Snow, Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel and more that I can't remember. Oh, yes, and Make Way for Ducklings. Great stuff. <br /><br />Kate, I'm a sucker for bookshops, too. And all the kids know this. <br /><br />Great post, Michelle.

And I really enjoy buying copies of the books they loved for other people. <br /><br />Ones we loved were the Lynley Dodd series (both the dog and the cat ones - wonderful rhymes and I can still quote Slinky Malinki), Mick Inkpen's "Kipper" series, Colin McNaughton's series about Preston Pig, Helen Oxenbury's "Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig", and Inga Moore's "Six Dinner Sid" (which I've always been tempted to get for Kate Walker).Kate Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367918727779245526noreply@blogger.com
