I still have it. My mom would read it to us and always had trouble with the names "Skolincolnlot & Skohotintot". That made me & my sister howl with laughter. :)Debbie Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336400645255173433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10176185.post-4070579699833050912013-05-10T20:04:03.637-05:002013-05-10T20:04:03.637-05:00I have an unusual one: 'Lad: A Dog' by Alb...I have an unusual one: 'Lad: A Dog' by Albert Payson Terhune. I read it several times when I was in sixth grade and it was pretty heavy (and old)! I'd cleanse my palette with Blubber (well, any Judy Blume) and Encyclopedia Brown (although I was never good at solving anything)! I wonder if it's still in print... ; )<br /><br />a : )Andi Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653004173414513095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10176185.post-4143285924473892462013-05-10T19:44:10.840-05:002013-05-10T19:44:10.840-05:00Corduroy.

The nursery rhymes were ok but mainly I loved to look at the Illustrations! The book was probably made for 2-4 yr olds but I kept it well into middle school until it fell apart. I can still remember how the cover felt, the worn out spine and the sound it made when I opened it.. wish I still had it! Going to look it up now to see if I can find a copy :)Jenny Woodwardhttp://jimondo.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10176185.post-89404824253879717412013-05-06T22:56:58.781-05:002013-05-06T22:56:58.781-05:00I loved Richard Scarry's I AM A BUNNY.

I have a vivid memory of the drawing (no colors) of a child sitting in a tree throwing apples at people's heads as they walked past. I always thought the title was "To Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street". As an adult I tracked down this title and found out, to my dismay, that it was a different book. I continue my quest with that image in my head. So, I submit a book whose title I can't remember but whose illustration I'll never forget.LMcCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668775731837376517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10176185.post-30292356625639713922013-05-06T16:49:43.280-05:002013-05-06T16:49:43.280-05:00I loved THE POKY LITTLE PUPPY because it has choco...I loved THE POKY LITTLE PUPPY because it has chocolate pudding in it.AMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01614970274548235804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10176185.post-52784809570658907802013-05-06T15:37:43.081-05:002013-05-06T15:37:43.081-05:00Can I play?

I can feel the paper and remember trying to pronounce the picturebook maker's name. Maybe that is where my love for accents and dialects started!
