What books do / did you love reading to your kids?

[Curmudgeoness]

3. Well, you just had me on a trip down memory lane.

You got me thinking about my favorites as a child in the 50's, and all of them were from a series of books that we had. They were a book club (I have found out since you got me researching this) by Doubleday. The series was called "Best in Children's Books", and I am now sorry that I gave the set I had to my great-neices. I would love to read them again.

My favorite stories were "Little Two Eyes" and "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and "The Magic Porridge Pot". And I still remember my sister's favorites were "Penny and the White Horse" and "The Man Who Never Washed His Dishes". (My sister still washes her dishes every single day, and I didn't learn much from the story since I have been to the point of eating out of ashtrays too!)

I had Volumes 1 to 22.

Thanks for sending me off on a two hour long memory trip.
