Favorite Childhood Books

I am still in the process of reading City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare, and I don't want to rush through it (I enjoy her books so much).  So, instead, I decided to blog about favorite books from a childhood perspective.  I have many favorites, but a few definitely stick out in my mind.  I want to share a few of them with you!

The first one being, The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf.  I absolutely love this book.  My mom used to read it to me all the time.  And I still feel that the story is so beautiful.  For those of you who have seen the fantastic movie, Blind Side, with Sandra Bullock, this book is actually featured in the movie.  It sends a great message to children, and is definitely worth the read (even as an adult).

Another book that I will always remember is Norman the Doorman by Don Freeman.  The images from inside of this book were the most striking to me:  the art museum, the sculptures, and the security guard.  All of these collectively make up the sweetest story!

I am ending with one of the classics!  I am a Bunny by Richard Scarry.  Richard Scarry is a fantastic children's author, and these books will stick in your head for enternity!  "I am a bunny, my name is Nicholas, I live in a hollow tree..."  Visually this book is beautiful, memorable, and I still have it in my room at home, right near my bed.  All of Richard Scarry's books are wonderful, but this one strikes a particular note with me

So this post is for all of the books that have influenced us as children.  Do you remember your favorites?  Do you still pull them out and read them every once and a while?
