I sometimes get in a the rut of not knowing what to blog about so to help me get out of that rut I decided to start listing 15 things that are somehow related to me.  I got this idea as well as the idea of my first list, posting my favorite children's books, from Light In the Sphere.  She has a 13 Thursday.  I liked that idea but changed mine to 15 Friday! LOL  Thanks for the idea Farrah! :-)  ((((hugs)))))

I love children's books!  I collect them and own tons of them and it's really hard to post my favorite!  I feel that the wonderful books that I don't mention will feel left out! I'll take that risk though and post my list.  You will notice many of which are a part of the FIAR curriculum.  (These are listed in no particular order):

1. The Biggest Bear by Lynd Ward (I loved this book as a child and just had to by it for my own children who also adore it!  It has been read over and over and over again!)
2. Little Toot by Hardie Gramatky
3. Cranberry Thanksgiving by Wende and Hary Devlin (Who can not love Mr. Whiskers?! LOL)
4. Katy No-Pocket by Emmy Payne and Illustrated by H.A. Rey
5. Choo Choo by Virginia Lee Burton (I love this author and my children and I just love all of her books!  You can't go wrong in picking up one of her books!)
6. A Pair of Red Clogs by Masako Matsuno (We enjoy the story and the illustrations. A fun story that gives us a peek into the Japanese culture.  It's also a book that gets read over and over again in our home.)
7. Andy and the Circus by Ellis Credle (I was able to pick up this out of print book used and am so glad that I did.  The boys love it as do I!)
8. Three Names by Patricia MacLachlan
9. Make Way For Ducklings by Robert McCloskey (I had this book when I was a child and had to by it for my boys.  I love it as do they.)
10. Lentil by Robert McCloskey (We love his books and have a number of them.  They boys just love Lentil and wanted harmonicas after hearing this story! LOL)
11. The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams Bianco
12. The Story About Ping by Marjorie Flack  (Yet another story that I enjoyed as a child and just had to get for my boys.)
13. Journey Cake Ho! by Ruth Swayer (I just love this book!  The boys do too!  It's one that we read over and over and over again! LOL)
14. Jesse Bear, What Will You Wear? by Nancy White Carlstrom (My boys loved this book as toddlers and preschoolers.  Also as they began reading, they loved that they could read this book to their litter brothers.)
15. The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne (I couldn't leave this book off my list!  IMO, it is a must have!  We all love these stories.  We also have his complete book of poems which we love as well!)

Well, there you have it!  I could have added many more on as well as children's chapter books.  It was hard to narrow my list down to fifteen. LOL  Maybe I'll have to do a part 2 sometime! LOL

When I started reading your post, I felt honored that you mentioned me! And then when I saw that you collect chidren's books, too, I was thinking, "No way!" That's so cool! LOL! I only recognized the last one. Too bad you don't live next door so I could come over and read all of them! :-) I'll have to keep my eyes open for some of those titles.

Hugs Back!

Oops! I actually recognize 3 of them. I also know Velveteen Rabbit (have it) and Little Toot. I have a miniature of that one. :-)

Looking forward to your next list of 15 things!
