contest and on Friday this great package of "Icelandic Stuff" arrived on my door step.
Look at all the cool stuff. There's soap, and postcards, (which are beautiful, and make me want to go to Iceland some day) there are Tattoos for the boys, magnets, a really beautiful book on trolls, yummy Icelandic licorice, napkins depicting the classic wool sweaters of the country, (there are a lot of sheep in Iceland) and possibly the most valuable, or the item that will get the most use? The ponytail holder.It was great fun to get this package in the mail. It was a difficult Friday, and so it's arrival brightened up my day.

I so wanted to win the Iceland package. It looks great.
My favourite kids book is "We're Going On A Bear Hunt." Best book ever.
Okay fine... pressure me why don't you ;)
so I had to enter anyway, because Children's Books are one of my MOST favorite topics (being that in a former post college life I was a manager of a local - and now defunct - bookstore chain, and it was my sole mission in life to improve the children's book section!
Let's see:
Favorite all around children's book: Good Night Moon
Favorite 'boy' type book: Anything by Byron Barton... Trucks, Planes, Airport, Boats, Trains...
Favorite 'girl' type book: Olivia (which we read all the time, so can it really be classified as 'girl' - no.
Favorite book to read to the boys: Click Clack Moo - Cows that Type
My favorite book from childhood: The Corgiville Fair, by Tasha Tudor.
Sorry, just couldn't leave it as just one...
right now i am feeling partial to Sport, Sign of the Beaver, Homecoming, and Ronia the Robbers Daughter
My fave is my childhood fave: The Visit by Joan Esley and Eloise Wilkin. The rich illustrations always sucked me in as a little girl and even today I am absolutely mesmorized by them!
Oooh, I love anything by Eric Carle...how cool are those pictures?
ok, lucky you on the great giftie! My favorite children's book...what a hard question...there are so many good ones. For older elementary I love the story The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane and Tale of Despereau. Ok, you just can't go wrong with Kate DiCamillo.
Younger kids...I love Eric Carle, Bill Martin Jr, the author of Chica Chica Boom Boom. So many...
The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash or The Pokey Little Puppy!
It appears that Lindsay and I are kindred book lovers.
I adore Goodnight Moon and Click, Clack, Moo is another favorite.
Add some Babar to the mix and you're done!
Also thanks for asking the questions. I have been wanting to cover different children's books people love for my blog!
Chica Chica ABC! Or Moo! Baa! La! La! La! One of the two....
Congrats on the Icelandic package!
Lovely to meet your blog.
I am obsessed with all the golden books. Poky Little Puppy and I am a Bunny are my favorites.
Where The Wild Things Are.
What a cool gift!
Easy peasy. My favorite is The Velveteen Rabbit. Thanks for the opportunity!
