I'd only ever heard of Pippi Longstocking before, but I'm going to look up some of those. I love discovering new treasures! <br><br>Linda,<br>You actually reminded me of a couple I should have had on the list as well. "Make Way for Ducklings" and "Blueberries for Sal" are also very well-loved books at our house. Visiting Boston Commons a few years ago and seeing all the familiar sites in "Make Way for Ducklings" is one of my kids' favorite memories of Boston.Larahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09051780765300427426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292239566292573987.post-39108955915964671322010-08-18T21:20:29.654-07:002010-08-18T21:20:29.654-07:00Mom,Your comment sneaked in there while I was leav...Mom,<br>Your comment sneaked in there while I was leaving my own. First, great minds think alike. I can't believe I forgot "Make Way for Ducklings" and "Blueberries for Sal". Second, I'd kind of forgotten about " A Fly Went By..." and "Squawk to the Moon Little Goose." Now I want to check those out from the library as well!Larahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09051780765300427426noreply@blogger.com
