I was like, "Now this is more like it!"It's a good thing I am not grown up yet or it would be too late.
I thought it might be an interesting endeavour to try and read every book listed. It eases you in with books for 0-3 years of age and works its way all the way up +12. I have also read some of them already, so that will eliminate a few...or maybe, I'll just read them over again.
I'll tell you what I would really like to do: Have a book club...and adult book club, where we discuss each of these books. Want to join me? Over the next year(s) I am going to try to post let's say 10 books at a time. I am totally thinking this up on a whim so I will see if I can stick with it but seriously, I would love some company. So here we go, apparently the 40's was a good decade for children's books:
1. The Little Engine That Could
(1930) (We own two copies of this book and have read it many times over)2. Pat the Bunny (Touch and Feel Book)
(1940)3. Make Way for Ducklings
(1941)4. The Runaway Bunny
(1942) (We own the board book version so I'm not sure if it is the same)5. Three Railway Engines (Railway Series)
(1945)6. Thomas the Tank Engine: The Complete Collection (Railway Series)
(1946)7. Goodnight Moon Big Book
(1947) (Totally in the bag!)8. Lavender's Blue
(1954)9. Bedtime for Frances
(1960)10. Miffy
(1963)
Happy Reading!!

The forties is probably one of my favourite decades for medie ( books, movies, actors, fashion ect) Anyway, All those books are incredible and I love the idea:)
I meant media...
I may just order that book.
SUCH a fun idea! but good night. this is going to involve some scavenger hunting skills on my part, i believe. looking forward to it! :)
Krista, I would SO do this book club! Are you kidding?! That'd be fantastic. I LOVE children's books! I have SO many I love and would love to share and hear what others think about as well. Count me in if you decide to do this. For sure! :)
