7 Books

So, my friend Kristen from the days of yore has tagged me to write about my 7 current favorite children's books. Here goes!

1.) Knocked out by my Nunga-Nungas, Louise Rennison: I chose this one from the Georgia Nicholson series because a.) They go to France, and I dressed up as a "French Person" for Halloween (it was vair vair hilarious!) and b.)I really am just looking for my Dave The Laugh.

2.) Charlotte's Web, E.B. White- I have always loved this book, and maybe, in some way, it's part of the reason that I plan to have a farm someday.

3.) The Lonely Seahorse, Saxton Freeman and Joost Elvers (sp?)- I love how they make vegetables look like sea creatures! Especially the dolphins!

4.) Dinosaurs, pop-up, Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart- amazing AMAZING pop-up books; this one is my favorite because the T.Rex scares Lulu a little bit.

5.) Harry Potter Series- hard to choose a favorite, but if I had to, I think Book 6. I love those books, even if it did take me many years to get around to reading them (and then doing all of them in less than a month.)

6.) Weetzie Bat, Francesca Lia Block- Man, I love this book... I forget how much I love it, until I read it again. It's just perfect. Also part of the reason I lived in L.A.

7.) The Little Witch; This was my mom's favorite book when she was little, and I have her copy. It's really cute, and just a nice story (from what I remember).

** Special Bonus Books!!***
What?! You can't do that!!! Oh, I think I just did! (plus, this time last year, I thought I was going to become a librarian. I get bonus books!)

*The Little Prince, St. Antoine d'Expury (sp?); Great book for all ages, and the pictures are even funny in French!

*The Sweet Pickle Series; I don't know if this still exists, but it had 26 volumes- one for each letter of the alphabet, about an animal that also started with that letter.

*Toot and Puddle; Two pigs who are best friends, one travels and the other stays home.

*Olivia and the Missing Toy; Two words: "Wooshie Gaga!"

*Leo the Lop; Most of the reason I got a lop bunny. I should have just gotten another book! (kidding, a little.... sorry evil bunny!)

Oh, I'm sure there are more, but my brain has gone stop.
