What was your favorite childhood book or favorite book you read to a child?

Question

I loved reading "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein to my children.

Answer 1

Good Night Moon...I read it to my little ones every nite!

Answer 2

The Berenstain Bears series of books. The books included the lively antics of a Bear family--doting Mother, kind and caring Father--brother and sister bears.

The books were colorful and eye-catching and the text was limited to 1 or 2 lines per page. Both of my children could cite the text long before they could actually read it. The story line always had a happy ending. What could be better?

My favorite book as a child was The Boxcar children and my kids are teens now but I always read them Where The Wild Things Are!

When I was little ... "One fish, Two fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" and "Green Eggs and Ham" I loved all the Dr. Seuss books... "The Cat in The Hat" was also a fav...
