What is Your Favorite Reading Memory?
When I was a child I loved to read books. My mom has pictures of me having fallen asleep reading and in first grade, I was placed in the advanced readers circle which I was VERY proud of. I must have been if I still remember it! I really want Oscar to have the same love of books that I have so recently, I purchased a few board books with Sesame Street characters on them. One of the books features Grover. While flipping through it, I had a flashback to my favorite childhood book of all time! Somehow it had buried itself deep in my subconscious because I haven't thought of this book in years, if not decades. It was called The Monster at The End of This Book and I LOVED reading it over and over, and over again. I can physically recall the anticipation of the end, as if maybe THIS time it will be different. I can't believe I forgot about it and I have been smiling just thinking about reading it to Oscar.
With Where the Wild Things Are coming out in theatres, and various other children's books being made into movies, I think these kinds of memories are likely to pop up. So what was your favorite book? What made it so special to you?

I LOVED the Monster at the end of this book! I think we still have it, AND there was a sequel! I was never really a big fan of Where the Wild Things Are, though.
My kids loved "Monster At The End Of This Book." It was fun to read it to them.
The movie looks good. I don't know if I really liked the book or not. I'm familiar with it, but it doesn't really stick out in my mind as a favorite.
I also loved that book. A few of my other favorites which I have also just recently remembered are: the berenstain bears-messy room, Little Critter - I Am So Mad, Corduroy, Where the Wild Things are and.... there was this awesome pop-up book with really cool artistic animals that opened their mouths as you turned the page.
I want to buy Jude all the books in the world! I love kids books.
I loved Dr. Suess and reading green eggs and Ham to my kids!!great post
