  1. Am I leaving too many comment? Well, this will be the last one :)

    I love The Blind Men and the Elephant and Casey at Bat. Both great picture books with a great message.

    Aesop's fables get's really close to the line with me in a few of it's stories, as does Kiplings Just So Stories, but then other stories are SO great!

    Love Charlotte Web. Our kids named Dad's car after Charlotte they love that book so much

    We have not loved the Dinotopia series. A little far fetched and I have not had any kids get really into the "action adventures" yet. They really would rather read about real dinosaurs.

    We love the giving tree! Both characters have great things to teach in that book. We also really like Riki Tiki Tavi at our House.
