What is your favorite children’s book?

Frog and ToadLast week Sam and Ashley sent a lovely gift to Becca, The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name. So I guess it’s time to start thinking about Becca’s literary immersion once she gets home!

We’d love to hear from you about your favorite one or two children’s books — either books that were read to you when you were young, or books you love reading to your children/nieces/nephews/grandchildren/etc. In the comments section, simply give the title and why you love that book.

Personally, I love the Frog & Toad stories. Last year Amy and I bought three Frog & Toad books for our nephews in China, but I liked them so much, I never sent them. (Charity, please don’t tell the boys!) A new favorite is the luxoriously illustrated, It’s Time to Sleep, My Love.

Now it’s your turn. (This is your big chance, Grandma Hess!)
