1. The very first book

Wed Jun 6, 2012, 08:04 PM

Jun 2012

I was allowed to borrow from the library was "Harry The Dirty Dog" and that was my favorite for a while.

Then I liked the "Madeline" books.

When I got a little older, my favorite book was "Perri", a story about a squirrel.

Now my all time favorite children's book is "The Education of Little Tree" by Forrest Carter. Very sad in spots, but lots of hilarity in others.
