My dad read it to me so many times we can still quote it to each other.
2. Twas the Night Before Christmas
My grandmother always tried to skip parts and I caught her every time! I think if I tried really hard I could still quote the entire poem.
3. Trixie Belden - The Secret of the Mansion
This book put two of my favorite childhood obsessions together - mysteries and horses. I so wanted to be Trixie!
I never read the Trixie Belden series, but I remember seeing the books shelved in the same area as the original Nancy Drews and the Bobbsy Twin books. OH!! And the Cherry Ames books, which I adored. All at my elementary school library.
ReplyDeleteGreat picks! I haven't read the Secret of the Mansion. I am so glad you have such fond memories of reading with your dad. I have those, too!
