Sometimes I'll see a list like this and see a book on that seems totally...well, planted, for lack of a better word. All these fabulous old titles and then I see Dragons Love Tacos which came out maybe three years ago. Dragons Love Tacos on this list? Really? It's a wonderful little title, but it's just not the same league, I think.
ReplyDeleteI fear my childood didnt include much reading. On this list I remember with much fondness Where the Wild Things are, Wizard of Oz, Hariot the Spy, Charlottes Web... a few others. But what about Clifford the Big Red Dog, and Dot and the Kangaroo....
