I adored that story. My mother read it to me over and over until I learned to read for myself. After that I read that book and many more quietly at bedtime. Except on my birthday. Every year on the eve of my birthday my mother would take us both back in time and read Charlotte's Web from start to finish on this one special night.<Aideenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04950392332349673188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-81250269144533729212008-07-30T14:17:00.000-07:002008-07-30T14:17:00.000-07:00I must say Anne of Green Gables, and I have always...I must say Anne of Green Gables, and I have always borrowed it from our local public library.Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16245892606482774038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-72362394809097675992008-07-30T13:43:00.000-07:002008-07-30T13:43:00.000-07:00My favorite book from childhood is "Where the Wild...My favorite book from childhood is "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak.
