Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read, focused on helping people gain followers and get to know each other. Each week we're given a question or activity!
This week's question:
What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?
By far, my favorite book as a kid was Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom.

I had my older sister read it to me so many times that I had it memorized! She also likes to tell me how much I enjoyed Eloise at the Plaza, but I don't really remember that one, oops. Other ones I liked as a kid were those large, hardback picture books that were based off Disney movies. My grandmother had a ton of them so I'd read them whenever I went to stay with her.
I don't have kids of my own, but I've been sure to spoil my nephew, who's at that age (he just entered school). I've gotten him Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom, Madeline and The Complete Adventures of Curious George.
Haven't read that one, but it looks fun. I'm in the same boat--no kids but spoil my niece. :D Old follower via bloglovin'. :D

Hopping through. I hope I have a little girl so I can read her Eloise and Madeleine.

I'm really glad that my friend has small children as I can shower them with books. They'll outgrow clothes fairly quickly but good books are timeless. Here’s my F&F

I've been reading about banned picture books all week (I was making a display in the Children's Library where i work), and i learned that both "Chicka Chicka" and "Eloise in Paris" have been banned/challenged! The first because they confused the author, Bill Martin, with another Bill Martin who wrote a book on Marxism, haha. And the second because one of the paintings that Eloise looks at in the museum has nude figures in it. Sheesh.
