Things started going wrong in Chewandswallow though and the weather went nuts I love asking children what food they wished fell from the sky and why after reading this book. Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans was a childhood favorite and I remember being a little girl and thinking I want to be just like Madeline because she was so brave. She wasnt afraid of anything and what always struck me was how proud she was of her scar. Something that little girls are told by society to hide because it makes us less than perfect physically yet Madeline hikes up her nightgown and shows it off. Of my childhood heroines Madeline was right up there with Anne Shirley, Annie and Brigitta from Sound of Music. As a teacher and parent I adore Bemelmans rhymes which at times are a stretch but in a way that gets kids thinking about what does and doesnt rhyme. The Berenstain Bears Moving Day by Stan and Jan Berenstain has been on my bookshelf as long as I have been able to read. I love this book and maybe its nostalgia or maybe its because I remember connecting with Brother Bear as he stepped into the unknown. This is a great book, and is especially powerful for children who are familiar with the characters. If a character they know has to move too, the unknown isnt so scary. Dont overlook this book just because its part of a character franchise. The Very Hungry Caterpillar  by Eric Carle. I remembering being amazed that the caterpillar turned into that huge colorful butterflyIn university while studying elementary education I chose this book as the literary inspiration for a cross curricular unit study for grade 1. I made math lessons with fruit, science lessons about observing insects and the butterfly life cycle and health lessons about smart food choices. Then teaching preschool I used this awesome book to teach the days of the week, basic counting and more. When I was pregnant I chose this book along with a few other favorites to be my sons nursery theme. Now that my daughter is 3 we often pull down the Very Hungry Caterpillar felt board and play with it as we read the story just like I did with her brother. To me this book is a given, and for every stage of my life, student, student teacher, teacher, mother it has come along for the ride Babar and Father Christmas  by Jean De Brunhoff was one of my very favorite Christmas stories as a child. As an adult I have had some great belly laughs at some of its writing. Babar books in general beg to be pre read, just trust me. In this book  Babar goes looking for Father Christmas because he wants to ask him to visit Elephant country. He searches all over Paris and finally ends up in the North Pole and finds after much effort Father Christmas. I love the details in this book, as a child I would lay looking at the pictures of Santas workshop and imagine what visiting it would be like. As an adult I appreciate the smallest details like how Father Christmass flying machine not a sled has P. N 1 on it, meaning of course Pere Noel 1. Babar and Zephir by Jean De Brunhoff was my favorite of all the Babar books, most of which I have tracked down and bought on ebay. What I loved about this book was we got to see where Zephir came from, and go see the fantastic world of hanging houses in Monkeyville. Babar books are always interesting to read again as an adult and this one is no exception. Zephir comes to the rescue when a mermaid princess is taken hostage. Odd yes,  but it enthralled me as a child and when I read it to my own kids they are fascinated by it as well. Strega Nona by Tomie de. Paola delighted me as a child and still does. I love the authors interpretation of the familiar magic pot folktale. Strega Nonas magic pasta pot is very powerful and when a villager thinks he can control it hilarity ensues. Corduroy by Don Freeman was a childhood favorite of mine and it hasnt lost any of its shine over the years. The story is about a lonely bear at a department store who despite being a little disheveled finds a forever home with a kind little girl who needs him as much as he needs her. There are so many levels to this book, as a child I remember being awed by the thought of toys coming alive in stores when the doors are locked and the shoppers leave. As an adult I see this as a touching adoption story. My son loves the escalators Corduroy travels on in the store This is another book that has lasting power and can be read for years in your home. Babies So Tall Board Books by Gyo Fujikawa was an especially desired book to me when I was little because it belonged to my older sister. How To Watch The Shadow King Online. The books is really very simple and its really just about what babies do all day. Trust me though it will be a hit with toddlers. Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson is the classic story of Harold who draws his own world and goes on great adventures only to realize what he wants to draw most is a home to come back to. This is a story about imagination, problem solving and one really cool and apparently unbreakable crayon. My kids love it and reading it to them I am taken back to my own childhood and how it inspired me to create my own imaginary worlds. The Duchess Bakes a Cake by Virginia Kahl. I had to search this book out, I had forgotten the title and author all I remembered was that there was a child named Gunhilde Thank goodness for Google The story is very sweet with the Duchess giving her staff the day off because she wants to bake a cake for her family. Unfortunately things go awry and the cake ends up huge with the Duchess stuck on top of it high in the air Luckily the Duchess finds a solution and things are fixed in the end. I loved two things about this book as a child, the idea of everyone eating a giant cake to save the Duchess and that the Duchess was taller then the Duke, I remember thinking that was funny and I didnt know that a wife could be taller than her husband. Thats the beauty of books, even picture books open children up to new experiences. Joe Kaufmans Book About Busy People and How They Do Their Work by Joe Kaufman was such a big part of my childhood that I was nervous sharing it with my son, worried hed reject it. He gobbled it up even though it is terribly out of date I think it was when I read it too. The book is all about different jobs and all the responsibilities of them. My favorite was Trudy Teacher and like my son whos favorite was Fred Fireman I skipped Carlos the Clown. Even as outdated as it is, its useful for learning about community helpers and I didnt notice the diversity of the jobs, and people in the book as a child but appreciate it as a parent. Leo the Late Bloomer by Robert Kraus. This book its a simple story about Leo who isnt doing what all the other animals his age are doing. His dad is more than a little anxious but Leo blooms in his own good time. I loved this book as a child.
