Children's books! A subject near and dear to my heart since I spent the last 10 years teaching. My very favorite thing about teaching was reading a great book to the kids and seeing them enjoy it. So many of the kids I taught were way too "worldly" and it was just damn reassuring to see that kids still love books!!! (I'm sounding old.....)
Anyway, my favorite books as a kid were (and are): "The Secret Garden" All of the "Winnie the Pooh" books "No Roses For Harry" "Paddie Paws" and I'm sure there were more, but I've killed too many brain cells to remember them! Since this is somewhat related, I'll share my report card comments. I still have them all! For the first 3 years, my teachers would say that I "talked to others when I should be listening" and then by the end of each year, they would comment that I had improved. (My Kindergarten teacher said, and I quote, "Kerry has licked her talking problem.") By fourth grade, she just said that I need to show more self control. Some things never change! Kerry (who feasted on Sharon's delicious lemon bread for breakfast and didn't show much control!)
