Feature and Follow Friday #4 - Favorite picture book

10:28 PM | Posted by Unknown | | Edit Post

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!

How does this work?

The goal is to increase blog followers and make friends. First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools — keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them “hi” in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you!

This week's question: What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?

I mostly remember reading Dr. Seuss, especially Hop on Pop which I had memorized and would pretend to be able to read. The Lorax was my favorite. I also had a collection of Disney adaptation stories, similar to the one pictured:

I don't have children, but I do read to my nieces and nephews. Here's some popular selections from the nephew I babysit most often:

Hope you're having a great friday.
Haven't heard about any of your books at the exception of the Brown Bear. It's also a book I've picked for my nephew!
