Ending up at a 7/11 I met a girl named Cheryl she was my age and she brought me back to her house so I could call my mother and tell her I was ok. While I waited for my mom to pick me up Cheryl and I read a couple of her books and this was one of them. Cheryl gave me the book to bring home. A couple weeks later she moved away but the experience was so special to me that I named my first born Morgan. It's 30 years later and I still have the book and both of my children have enjoyed it as a bedtime story. My son Morgan who is 17 now often says the book is his most praises possession.

I picked it up when I was in Ireland because the title contrast was irresistible.<br /><br />My 3:<br />Millions of Cats--Wanda Gag<br />The Little House--Virginia Burton<br />Juniper (The Bunny's Nutshell Library)-Robert Kraus<br /><br />These are just the picture books of course. So hard to pick just three. And then there are chapter books like The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

I believe the majority of our childhood books went to the local charity shop some time ago. However favourites like "The Bad Tempered Lady Bird" and "The Hungry Caterpillar" are still there to look at in the book shop!<br /><br /><br />Follow here for a present!<br />http://eveninglanterns.blogspot.com/2011/05/just-few-of-my-favourite-things.html#moreMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715870929591609469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627860189402661311.post-16269549942323818362011-05-10T08:40:06.811-07:002011-05-10T08:40:06.811-07:00i think i read this one too! i also remember their...i think i read this one too! i also remember their being one about a bunny too! i love looking at my old childhood books, they are just so cute!<br /><br />xo,<br />cbcbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14621143547156651330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627860189402661311.post-32450274232701231182011-05-10T04:16:26.923-07:002011-05-10T04:16:26.923-07:00The Lonely Doll
