That's another one I loved! Also, there was one "hide and seek" book with a puppy named Spot? Gosh, I'm so horrible at remembering book names!

Kari, Have you tried eBay?

I found it for you but it's expensive! This is the only one I could find.

Angus books (he was a Scottish Terrier), there is very little reading in them. I remember when I was very young they were the books I always took out of the library.

Charlotte's Web...Jeeter, Mason, and, the Magic Headset...the Sweet Pickles books...Pink Pig...the Oz books...Anne of Green Gables and the rest of the Anne books...there are a lot more, but, their names elude me!

Francis books...she was a possum, or porcupine or something...dang it, I can't remember the name...but, there's a photo of me as an infant on my dad's chest, and, he's reading one of them to me. :) Something about a tea party or something...dang. I'll have to ask my mom!

Oh, I loved those too!

I loved Babar! And Madeline too.

When I was older I liked the Narnia books. I also really liked the Indian in the Cupboard, a Wrinkle in Time, and Tom Sawyer.

I'm so glad some one else loved Terhunes books My mom got me hooked on them. As a toddler the POKEY little puppy was my favorite. It drove my mom mad to read it day after day.
Also Freddy the detective about a pig and the farm yard freinds that solved crimes. Lost all of them in a flood afew years back haven't found any where.
The secret garden was great oo Hitty her first hundred years The old one not the reprint that is a picture book that came out recently.

I like "Island of the Blue Dolphins" and "Trumpet of the Swan". And, of course, I like any book about dogs. :)

Oh boy. I was SUCH a bookworm growing up, so I don't know where to begin.

As a child, I LOVED the Berenstain Bears, Magic School Bus, Sideways Stories from Wayside School, Arthur Books, Curious George, Clifford the Big Red Dog, and so many others. I think I may have read almost every book for children in the library. I also loved reading religious books for children...stories of the Prophets, etc. I loved the Little House series. I loved the Yearling. There were so many books that I used to read. Seriously...I could not live without books when I was a child. The internet changed that...I still love books, but nowadays, I find myself reading things online way more than sitting down with a good book. :o

A Woggle of Witches by Adrienne Adams. I used to check this book out of the library EVERY week and then a couple of years ago my mom found it for me and bought it. I was very excited!

Where the Wild Things Are - I found a T-Shirt at Target with this title printed across the front and it's my FAVOURITE t-shirt! I bought this book for myself for about $3 at a record store of all places - how strange!

I loved all the Dr Seuss books and all the Cabbage Patch books - did anyone read those? My all time favourite author is Judy Blume.. I've read and have collected all of her books as well :)

So funny that you would mention the shirt!! I bought it a few months ago and I am wearing it today.
