I found a book the other day called "Fish Out of Water" that I didn't remember I had read as a kid until I saw it again. As I flipped through it, it was like having an old friendly uncle tell you a story from your childhood. The illustrations were so familiar. When I was older, I also remember reading all the Encyclopedia Brown, and I read "A Wrinkle in Time" and "The Phantom Tollbooth" again and again and again. As far as current books go: "The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog"--Mo Willems-the character of the duckling is so well realized "Hug Time"--Patrick McDonnell-great rhyme, sweet theme "Piggies" or "The Little Mouse, the Big Hungry Bear and the Red Ripe Strawberry"--Audrey and Don Woods-amazing illustrations "But Not the Hippopotamus"--my favorite Sandra Boynton "The Dot"--Peter H. Reynolds Finally, something I can comment on. I found a book the other day called “Fish Out of Water” that I didn’t remember I had read as a kid until I saw it again.

I absolutely loved the Bible best. It was oversized and heavy.
