I love the books. I jest loves em! Though I find I read in cycles - sometimes a lot, other times - not so much. Sometimes I can power through a book in half a day, other times, it takes months. Some go forever unfinished. Others re-read frequently. Here's some of my favorites, past, present and future. Enjoy!
 
 
 
 
A classic from the Dr. Suess collection, 'Are You My Mother' is one I grew up with and still keep around for days when I need a pick-me-up!
 
 
There isn't a comic written as intelligently as Calvin & Hobbes. Watterson's brilliant world views and simplistic playfulness are embedded throughout. Plus Hobbes pounces are cool.
 
 
I have my sister to thank for introducing me to Griffen & Sabine. The books are like pop-up books for adults - good writing, beautifully hand illustrated, and lots of fun to read.
     
 
The Giving Tree still brings tears to my eyes. That manipulative little kid just takes and takes and takes. The parallels between most humans and the earth are staggering - though I'm not sure the earth will forever remain as generous as the tree did. Time will tell!
     
 

Definitely my all-time favorite kids book. I still use "...or I will eat you up!" as a threat when I don't get my way, though few take me seriously. Maybe it's time for a demonstration.
