And they lived happily ever after…
I could sit reading these stories for years to come. It seems the older I get, the fonder I become. The lure of such beautiful and quirky illustrations comes hand in hand with the whimsical tales of fun and adventure to last a lifetime long. And go on to enchant future generations alike.
These are a few I picked up recently on my second-hand travels, to add to the already plentiful bookcase. But that’s the beauty with books, you simply can never have too many.
Aww I always spend ages looking at all the kids books at work. I wish i had space to bring some home:] Will write and send your letter tomorrow :] x
ReplyDeleteI over heard a dad and his child on the way to work on the bus talking about The Hungry Caterpillar - totally adored that book!
ReplyDeleteWhenever the boy and I go into book shops we always spend ages looking at the children's books. Not that was have children, we just like childrens stories!
ReplyDeleteI remember at school being told that the hardest book to write is a children's book. Having to think about morals, the language and the imagination and illustration.
I love Mog :)
