Popcorn, by Frank Asch
But No Elephants, by Jerry Smath
my parents got soooooooooo sick of reading those two books to me. I think they would try to find other books to read to me but I don't remember any others. I actually don't remember them reading the books to me, but that's what they say, anyway. I guess I learned to read at an early age and listened to records instead of asking to be read to.

I learned to read at an early age by forcing my mom to read me this one alphabet book every night...I don't recall my parents ever getting sick of a book, but I won't rule it out

If you don’t have freedom as a principle, you can never see a reason not to make an exception. There are constantly going to be times when for one reason or another there’s some practical convenience in making an exception.

Fun facts about Chuck Norris:
Newton's Third Law is wrong: Although it states that for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, there is no force equal in reaction to a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.
Chuck Norris can divide by zero.
Chuck Norris CAN believe it's not butter.

I had a tattered, coverless Richard Scarry book that I loved to look at, with my parents or by myself. I especially liked the page of "little things".

I really liked The Three Little Pigs. I don't remember if I drove my parents crazy with it, but I ended up with several different versions. I liked the versions best in which all three survived (didn't care what happened to the wolf.) But I also liked the added element of the third pig and the wolf trying to outsmart each other, when the pig goes to the turnip field, the apple field, and the fair (which I believe was part of the original Grimm version in which the wolf ate the first two pigs.)
I also remember one version in which the wolf disguised himself as a sheep in an attempt to be let in to the stick house before ultimately blowing it down. The old "wolf in sheep's clothing".
One thing I always wondered: What if the wolf came along before the third pig was finished with his house?

I remember your obsession with the three pigs. I also recall that you were quite entranced with Puff the Magic Dragon, though this wasn't a book. That was amusing.

Ahhh.......... nostagia. I was read to alot as a child. My favorite book was probably Blueberries for Sal (I don't think it is very well known) Curious George never really interested me that much nor did most of Dr. Seuss' books. But there is one by him called Oobleck that my grandmother would always read my brother and me (And sometimes she still does just for the fun of it!) Anyway, I'd just like to say that someday I am going to go back to the library of my childhood, find all the well loved classics, and read them! =D

I remember Blueberries for Sal! My mom read that to me.
There were also these books about some sort of freakish koala bear named Francis that my mom read to me...I don't remember much about them, though...

I always loved the Berenstain Bears books. And Green Eggs and Ham has always had a soft spot in my heart...

I don't think I was ever a big fan of that family of bears.
I really liked Dr. Seuss. My favorite book when I was little was In a People's House (not by Seuss, but I don't remember the author). I think I drove my parents crazy with that one. I remember liking Amelia Bedelia books, because they would read them to us at the library.
An awesome kid's book, that isn't really for kids, is The Giving Tree. Give it a read if you haven't already.

I just remembered this book that I used to love when I was little called The Van Gogh Cafe. I have no idea who it's by, though.
