The Power Of A Good Book

Snuggling up with a book promotes loving memories for all generations! From early childhood to preteens we had great reads thanks to the Golden Books, Weekly Reader hardbacks, Mother Goose, and more. They gave us Tweety Bird and Riddles, Miss Lollipop’s Lion, Freckle Juice, Little Toot, Little Lulu, Mr. Snitzel’s Cookies, Socks, Lady, Cinderella, Davy Crockett (loved him!), Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Fury, Nancy Drew Mysteries, The Hardy Boys, etc.! In elementary school I loved The Middle Moffat, about the dubious honor of being a middle child, and The Terrible Mr. Twitmeyer, about a mysterious dog catcher! Later I loved Little Men, and of course Little Women, which made me want to be a writer. Many of these are still available to share now with the youngest generation!

What books from your childhood strike a chord of happy nostalgia and why?
