this was one of my favorite books as a child. it was out of print for a long time but was recently published again.
"It's not that I do not like people," said she,
but one gets a bit shy when one lives in a tree."
a simple classic appropriate for the long winter days ahead of us."The postman said it looked like snow. The farmer said it smelled like snow."
perhaps a favorite for everyone. love this book.
"Then he looked up into the tree. And what do you think he saw?"

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing such great children's books, I am heading right over to Amazon to check these out, we are always looking for new ideas as I feel like we read a lot of the same books over and over again. One of our all time favorites is Our Animal Friends at Maple Hill Farm. I always get a little misty eyed at the end when they talk about, "the animals that have been, the animals that are and the animals that will be"...
