Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is Childhood Favorites. I've included some of the picture books and children's books that I was all about in my younger days. Here we go, in alphabetical order by title:
Corduroy by Don Freeman
Frog and Toad Are Friends by Arnold Lobel
Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss
Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George
Little Toot by Hardie Gramatky
Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans
The Poky Little Puppy by Janette Sebring Lowry
The Sailor Dog by Margaret Wise Brown
Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
The True Story of the 3 Little Pig by Jon Scieszka
What were some of your childhood favorites? Have you read any of these books? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
Oh Corduroy is awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteAwww! Corduroy! I think I still own that one, but it's REALLY beat up. Guess that means it was well loved. Not sure I ever had the Madeline books, but I did watch the animated short ALL THE TIME. Oh, and of course, 'Poky Little Puppy' is a classic. :)
ReplyDeleteI watched the show all the time! Can't go wrong. :)
DeleteMany of these I read with my son. We loved Frog and Toad.
ReplyDeleteFrog and Toad is just the best. :)
DeleteOh I loved Madeline! I remember some of the books and the TV show! Great list.

Yes! Thanks for linking!
DeleteI remember some of these, although I think some of them I read for the first time when I was older, like Madeline.
ReplyDeleteToo good to miss out on them!
DeleteAw you've got some really cute books on here. Great list!
ReplyDeleteOmg I was obsessed with the The True Story and other books that author did. They were so fun!

Yes, they're amazing!
Delete1. Corduroy! I had the teddy bear with the book and that made me love them both more.
ReplyDelete2. Julie of the Wolves is fantastic. Started a total obsession with that author's work for me. Did you have any other favorites from her?
3. My mom loved Madeline more than I did, I think! But I liked how she was always so excited to read it to me.
4. True Story of the Three Little Pigs is a great concept. We read it in 3rd grade and then spent a week or two writing and illustrating our own "true version" of something. Remind me to tell you about the further adventures of Sleeping Beauty (now called Christine) and how her husband turned out to be Prince Boring so she sent him on a 75-year quest.
5. Oh, Shiloh. Every word perfect. Still one of my favorite books to this day, even though I could never get into the sequels.
Oh, that would be so cute to have a Corduroy bear! :)
DeleteMadeline and Shiloh were faves of mine too. I remember when I saw Angelina Jolie named her daughter that and I immediately thought about this book and how much I loved it.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit I did exactly the same thing. :)
DeleteI know I read Shiloh as a kid, but I don't remember much about it. :)
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
I need to refresh my memory too. :)
DeleteWhat a nostalgia trip - I remember The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! I think we had that book at school. I used to like Madeline, too. Great list!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over, Jess!
DeleteI love all the Frog and Toad books, so sweet😁
ReplyDeleteSo pure!
DeleteI read the True Story of the 3 Little Pigs when I was a teen to my little cousins, and wow! That book was fantastic! Dr. Seuss was a favorite of mine too, with that book being especially dear, as my childhood nickname came from that story (Sam I Am or the shorter version, Green Eggs)
ReplyDeleteI used to be called Sam I Am as well - even though my name is nothing like Sam at all. :D
DeleteI was talking to someone else the other day about how integral Dr. Seuss is to childhood. Still love reading his books despite I'm no longer a child. Heck, even my kids aren't even kids these days!
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I don't blame you at all!
DeleteWhat a fun list this week. I may not have read these books myself but I read many of them to my children. Now I get to relive them again with my grandson. So fun. Some books really stand the test of time. My Childhood favorites
ReplyDeleteThey sure do. Thanks for sharing!
DeleteI remember reading The True Story of the Three Little Pigs but I can't put my finger on how old I was when I read it 😅 And I think I'd heard of Madeleine when I was young, but I don't remember reading it.
ReplyDelete- Louise
Some I can't only remember just how much I loved them. :)
DeleteYAS! I loved all of these!! Awesome list!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Erica!
DeleteI probably read a lot of these, but when it comes to picture books, I honestly can't remember which ones I read!
ReplyDeleteIt's a long time to think back for sure. :)
DeleteGreen Eggs and Ham! I totally forgot about Dr. Seuss when I was making my list, lol. I also loved Horton Hears a Who. :-)
ReplyDeleteClassics!
DeleteI loved Frog and Toad and Julie of the Wolves as a kid!
ReplyDeleteThey're amazing!
