Loved the Velveteen Rabbit!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite books were Pookie, the little rabbit with crumpled wings. I still have them in the bookcase for my children to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWe had a big book of fairytales. My favourite thing about that was that my father would change the stories. For instance: Little Red Riding Hood ended with her in the stomach of the wolf (See, she should have listened to her mother). Rumpelstiltskin became Stumpelkitsrin (And no-one, no-one knows my name is Stumpelkitsrin). You get the idea right? It did take some getting used to, when we hit Kindergarden....The most fun where my dad's own stories about the Big-Ear-Eater living in our bathroom or the crew of the boat Harry Yuck (brown sales, since the crew only ate beans to help during days without wind.....). Much to love!
ReplyDeletePretty! My kids favorite story book when they were little was Oh Dear! about a boy who went to Grandma's house and went out looking for eggs for breakfast! It has flaps to lift and animal noises to make, very cool LOL!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the story or where it came from. I think it belonged to a book that had a collection of stories in it. It was about a gumdrop tree. I just remember thinking, I wish there was one. To shake it and have gumdrops fall freely would be a dream! LOL Kids have some great dreams don't they?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite childhood book was, The Snowy Day. It was written by Ezra Jack Keats. My mother recently found it in the attic and, gave it to me for my son. I loved the book and the illustrations, so many memories of reading that book over and over again. ;->
ReplyDeleteI have trouble remembering things from yesterday never mind from 50 years ago!! Let me think, it was probably Snow White, my Dad use to read it to me, and anything my Dad read was fine by me. I can remember we had some lights on our Christmas Tree with them on...need to go and lie down now...it's hard work thinking that far back!!!
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite storybooks growing up were the old Berenstain Bears books and now I enjoy reading them to my own children.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite storybook was a collection of of Grimm's Fairy Tales. I remember my dad read the story of little red riding hood to me as a bed time story, wonderful memeroy, right? Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteSomeone already mentioned it but one of my favourite children's books is The Velveteen Rabbit. I love books that can have deep meanings for both children and adults, and evolve with you as you get older.

ReplyDeleteI love picture books (children librarian over here!) so it's hard to pick one. Last year, at a conference, they asked me to introduce myself with one picture book and I chose Anais Vaugelade's "Stone soup" (there's a big wolf that looks like a bad guy but he's not, and a lot of animals sharing their veggies to make a collective soup). I chose it because I want to be like the wolf in that story :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win :-)

As a child (talking 3 or 4 years old here), my favorite book was a nursery rhyme book called "Little Boy Blue" Even at that age I could "read" the book to you, because I had memorized every word. Each nursery rhyme was a complete little story with great illustrations.

ReplyDeleteThe Gingerbread Man kind of scared me when I was little because of the fox! Yikes! Alice fabric is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe first book that comes to mind is The Rainbow Goblins. I think that was the first book that really grabbed me visually as a child.
ReplyDeleteI love/loved too many to count. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little, one of my favorite books was The Color Kittens. I loved how she described all of the colors and how the kittens had such wonderful dreams. When my daughter was born, I found a new copy of it and I bought it immediately. Both of my kids spent many hours reading that book with me. I won't let them give it away now...I'm keeping it for Grandkids...even if that is at least 20 years from now! ;)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fairy tale was the Three Little Pigs. My dad would knock when he got home and we would act out the part with the wolf only he got to come in.
ReplyDeleteI can't count the number of times I read the Bearenstein's "Bike Lesson" to my kids. I can still receite the first half of the book by memory and my youngest is 15 years old!

ReplyDeleteGreen Eggs and Ham is my favorite book to read my kids. Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful fabric.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading Benjamin Bear to my kids when they were little and as a kid I remember reading The Pokie Little Puppy over and over.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young my grandmother bought us all of the Dr. Seuss and Berenstain Bears books and I loved them all. My favorite to read to my boys when they were little was Green Eggs and Ham, and they cackled when I put green food coloring in their eggs for breakfast one morning.
ReplyDeleteI read alot as a child but I do not have one in particular...although I remember reading a book in school titled "Alice and Jerry"...

ReplyDeleteI read all the Trixie Belldone books and little house books. I loved them. thanks, kathy
ReplyDeleteIt's not really a storybook, but Richard Scarry books are the fav of my GS. I loved a set of books that called Childcraft - my grandparents had a old set and I searched when I was about 10 for a set at garage sales and FOUND THEM. There are stories, poems,music, and all sorts of other fun stuff. My children and grandchildren love them too!
ReplyDeleteBlack Beauty was one of my favourites as a girl.
ReplyDeleteAlice in Wonderland fabric has a lovely vintage look to it. Would make a lovely quilt!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite storybook growing up was Cinderella. I loved it and wanted to be her. Today, my oldest favorite book is Lama Lama Red Pajama. My how time changes things.
ReplyDeleteEver heard of Llama Llama? There's a whole series of them, but I think my favorite at the moment is Llama Llama Mad at Momma, where little Llama Llama doesn't want to go to the Shop-o-Rama, and throws a fit. It is hilarious, because everything rhymes, and because the picture of Llama Llama (mad) looks JUST like my two year old when she's grumpy!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had an old copy of Hansel & Gretel with the most wonderful watercolor illustrations.....
ReplyDeleteA favorite story book is "Slinky Malinki" by Lynley Dodd - it is sooo sweet!!
ReplyDeleteMy sons love anything by Byron Barton. The airplane and truck book is a particular favorite.

ReplyDeletekeels@
I was a fairy tale nut when I was little. Cinderella was my princess of choice. and that was my favorite story when I was little, followed closely by Beauty and the Beast
ReplyDeleteAs far as fairy tales go Cinderella is my favorite, but the Disney movie version. The original written fairy tales were too scary for me as a kid.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite storybook is Billie Goats Gruff - and I read it to my grandnieces whenever I can - complete with sound effects. These are the cutest novelty prints. I can see them in a baby quilt for my newest grandniece. Thanks for the chance.

ReplyDeleteI had an old fairy tale book that was my mothers when she was a kid. I loved it and it had those really scarey pictures that now you look at an think "what was the artist thinking drawing this for children?!"
ReplyDeleteNice fabric! One of my many favorite storybooks is called Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers.Thank you for the chance!
ReplyDeletegrimm's fairy tales! we listened, barely breathing. my brother and i would sneak looks at each other to see just how much we should believe. this was a big, heavy, illustrated volume for winter reading and never to be looked at alone. this was back in the early forties ... nothing was glosssed over.

I loved James Whitcomb Riley's Best Loved Poems...my grandmother would recite them from memory and we loved them!
ReplyDeleteGoldilocks, I loved the 3 bears. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love at least a million storybooks. At the moment I really love James and the Rain ("Do you know any excellent rainy day games?"). Perhaps because it's fun to think of rain when you look out at blowing snow. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI had a book when I was a child - can't remember the title, but I do remember a few lines out of it.
ReplyDeleteCharacter 1 - "What time is it?"
Character 2 - "Two to two"
Character 1 - "Don't you toot at me, I only asked for the time!"
I loved The Phantom Tollbooth when I was a kid! I used to wish I had a little toy car and a tollbooth so I could go on adventures. :D
ReplyDeleteAs a child my favorite storybook was "Make Way for Duckling"... I still read it today to my children!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, my favorite story book was One Morning In Maine by Robert McCloskey. Most of my friends don't know about it, but I loved it.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite story book (newer story book....I work in a school and read with the kids all the time) is Dewey the Library Cat. They also have it in a novel and I am still waiting to read that one.
ReplyDeleteWonderful giveaway....I love Alice in Wonderland!!!!
That is so funny that you ask because I was just thinking about it, Cinderella. Had the record of the Disney movie. Listen it so much. Second favorite was Peter Pan! Still remember some of the songs.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoyed the three little pigs, Alice was a little to complex for my poor father to explain to me, ( you see He only got to grade two in school since that was the age when he became an orphan) so Alice in wonderland was a little to complex for him to explain to a curious child).
ReplyDeleteMy Grandson has me reading The Wizard of OZ for the third time and he still loves it and so do I . I don't ever remember reading it to my kids just seeing the movie and it so different.My grandson is blind so he can only get his fantasy from reading and listening to cd's.
ReplyDeleteI love The Library Lion. It is very sweet. The fabric is sweet too! K-
ReplyDeleteI always loved the Trixie Belden books growing up and still have a couple of copies! I'd love to win.
ReplyDeleteI met my husband almost 32 years ago at a costume party where the theme was Once Upon a Time. I was Goldilocks and he was The Cat in the Hat. He won for best costume and I ended up with the most wonderful husband. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteGreen Eggs and Ham!
ReplyDeleteAlice in Wonderland is my favorite story book! These are so cute!
ReplyDeleteIt is a short chapter book, but I love Catwings. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteDeb
I don't remember anyone reading to me as a child and I didn't love reading books until I was in my 30's! How awful....anyway, I am glad that I enjoy reading now. My favorite are christian fiction or historical novels. Thanks for the giveaway......I love 30's fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say I remember loving Goldie Locks and the 3 bears. Alice in wonderland seemed a bit like a bad dream! LOVE the fabric though!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little I absolutely loved The Gingerbread Man, and my grandma had a book at her house about a family of goldfish that I loved. I wish I knew the name of it and could find it now. I loved looking at the pictures and imagining life in the Fish Family! ;)
