I imagine my mother bought them for me and my siblings at the grocery store. I loved looking at the art work in them, especially Eloise Wilkin's artwork. When I became a parent I bought a large collection for my children and enjoyed them all over again. Now I hope to share them with my grandson. The most distinct stories I remember from childhood that were read to me over and over were Madeline, followed by The Tin Soldier and Pegasus. I had a large collection of Golden Books as a child.

I also loved a book on vinyl I had of the Pokey Little Puppy...even though the paper copy was long gone I would sit for hours listening to it. We carry that book now and re-reading it, I can still hear the inflection in the man's voice and I can copy it word for word. As I began reading to my daughteers, I had Dr Suess books galore. I myself learned to read One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue fish and my favorite to read to them is Yertle the Turtle.
