Stunning illustrations and quirky, heartfelt stories. I gift them as often as I can. I am reading "The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Jumped Out The Window and Ran Away". It is as funny as its title and given it is written by a Swedish Author, it has a humour to it that you don't quite get that often.Suz Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614883710137324292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-76952828891013513342012-10-29T18:01:54.599-07:002012-10-29T18:01:54.599-07:00Mo Willems is also a great author for kids.

My husband and I are voracious readers (I read between 50-75 books a year) and when our teens were little we read ALL the time to them. They both had book shelves full of books and there is always reading material in our home. Would you believe that neither of them like to read? I am so disappointed and bewildered because I just knew they would love it as their dad and I do!Living Life in the Lowcountryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953742689295048215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-3900441721502654472012-10-29T07:02:29.763-07:002012-10-29T07:02:29.763-07:00I completely agree that we are made readers in the...I completely agree that we are made readers in the laps of our parents.

Other popular books are: Are you my mother?, The Rainbow Fish, and the ever popular Dr. Seuss books. For Halloween, my kids love The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything (let them stomp, clap, wiggle, shake, nod, and say woooooo! along with the story). :)<br /><br />I have to agree with Kara about Llama, llama, too - they loooove those.<br /><br />And my dream home also is filled with built in bookshelves. :)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783590272548267098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278276723610191994.post-22076118855393962452012-10-29T06:28:34.398-07:002012-10-29T06:28:34.398-07:00I have a bajillion coffee table books on my wish l...I have a bajillion coffee table books on my wish list too!!
