In fact, today, I was thumbing through some bins, had this book in my hand and questioning its value with a squinted face until a woman came up behind me and said "My first graders absolutely adore this book." Well, needless to say, I was sold! For $1.50 I couldn't go wrong. I stumbled upon your blog while Googling the title to see what others had thought of it and was impressed by your vast collection of classics. Do you have a "list" - somewhat bulleted - outlining your top children books of all time. Perhaps a "Top 100" or something to that affect.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662922636307172414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-286913937474632742010-12-18T19:53:18.923-06:002010-12-18T19:53:18.923-06:00For my first child's nursery, I've been sc...For my first child's nursery, I've been scouring thrift shops for classic children's books.

I didn't discover it until I was an adult. It's just so charming. When I used to read it for storytimes at the bookstore I worked at, the kids just giggled and giggled at how small the tree got. Definitely a classic!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213514826661790158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-4183568018478431772010-12-14T09:13:43.311-06:002010-12-14T09:13:43.311-06:00Go Fuji!!!
