I always loved the book But No Elephants. I'm not sure what attracted me to the book but it was definitely a favorite.

Very cool giveaway!!
Favorite book is 'Runaway Bunny' by Margaret Wise Brown. (love her 'Goodnight Moon' as well) Runaway Bunny was given to me by my own mother when I was 16. We were having a rough year and it was her little reminder to me that she loved me.
I read it to my little kiddos all the time.
Oooo...I favorited these little gems already! Love 'em.
One of my favorite books as a tween was "The House on Hackman's Hill" I liked spooky, scary stuff :)
chaosstar99 at hotmail dot com
Oh! I'd LOVE to have these!!
My favorites were Socks for Supper, The Strange Disappearance of Chester Cats, and yes, But No Elephants! (I can't believe someone else knows that book!) :)
My favorite was Jellybeans for Breakfast. I got it through a Scholastic Bookfair order form and just loved it, read it over and over.
:)
As a child I really enjoyed Scott McDowell's "Island of the Blue Dolphins." I generally liked books about people stranded on islands and fending for themselves through their own creativity.
So hard to choose just one Childrens book; I have a small collection from both my childhood & just because I adore the art/stories.
For sentimental-sake, I say Garbage Delight by Dennis Lee (as my original 1977 copy sits within easy peeking-sight).
I love your bookplates! :)
My favorite book as a kid was "I wish I had Duck Feet" - a lesser known Dr. Seuss book (authored as "Theo LeSeig") about a kid who wishes to change all these crazy things about himself and then in the end, realizes that he's good just being himself. I am in my late 20s and my mom can still recite most of the book from memory. I am on my 3rd copy (which I received from my parents for high school graduation).
awesome giveaway!
when i was little i loved the giving tree by shel silverstein
I loved "The Horse in Harry's Room" by Syd Hoff.
Puleeeeeeeze pick me...
oh
me.....c'mon... just pick me already;)!! xoxo
(Have a sunshiney week...if that is possible this time of year in Van!!)
Oh, I loved Dr. Seuss and Richard Scarry when I was really little. These book plates are adorable.

You have the best giveaways! Those bookplates are adorable. My favorite books were (hard to pick I read a LOT when I was a kid) Black Beauty and Smoky The Cowhorse. Yes, I was horse-obsessed :)
As I child I loved the box car children books.
Nice blog!
I liked Where the Sidewalk Ends. the poems were captivating. I also liked the Poems of A.A. Milne (Winnie the Pooh)
www.sbdesigns13.etsy.com
Yay! These are great :)
My favorite kid's book,...well I taught preschool for 6 years so I have many favorites! I love Eric Carle books--the illustrations are so colorful and unique, and kids love the simplicity of the stories. My favorite is Mister Seahorse because it's all about how male seahorse care for their young. My dad raised me, so that one really hits home :)
I also have to mention another favorite called What Was I Scared Of? It's a lesser known Dr. Seuss book and I LOVE it. It's so much fun to read, even over and over again--and kids love the rhythm and poetry of it. It also teaches a great lesson.
Okay, looks like I've written you a novella. Crossing my fingers! Thanks.
When i was younger, my faves were the giving tree and the fox and the hound. as an adult, my favorite kid's books include click, clack, moo: cows that type, the boy who grew flowers, verdi, and olive, the other reindeer.
:) good luck with your library!

Love bookplates. These are adorable!
I'm too old to remember mine. But for the kiddos, I always Richard Scary, and so did they. :)
Oh these are adorable! My favourite book when I was younger was Tom's Midnight Garden. I used to read so much now I think about it. Really need to get back into the habit. Maybe these book plates would help!
Great giveaway! My favorite books were by Dr. Seuss especially Green Eggs & Ham! That Sam is a pill!
i have always loved good night moon...i read it to all of my kids over and over and over...

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, James and The Giant Peach,
The Jolly Postman,

Frog and Toad,

I loved the old Nancy drew books, and 'Choose your own adventure' books!
my fav kids books when i was little were scary stories to tell in the dark. and matilda by roald dahl.

as a little girl i loved 'Milly Molly Mandy' and wanted to live in their sweet little village and be friends!!
My mother used to read us the stories from the Book of favorite Bible Stories. I loved them all!!
somanymemories@gmail.com
Cool cards : )
my favorite children's book is a tie between
"The Wizard of Op" by Ed Emberley
or
"The Rainbow Goblins" by Ul De Rico
both of which have awesome visuals!
It was The Little Prince. When I was in the 2nd year of elementary school, my teacher gave it to me as a birthday gift, and it was so lovely (especially the part with the sheep). Only later on did I understand the true meaning behind a lot of things, and it did not lose it's magic. Actually, the exact opposite. :)
I can be contacted through so.kitsch (at) gmail.com.
My favorite books were the "Little House" series. My aunt gave me the books over the course of a couple years - one for a birthday, the next for Christmas, etc. I was so enchanted by the stories that I'm actually reading a biography about Laura Ingalls Wilder right now (A Writer's Life by Pamela Smith Hill). I'm very much looking forward to reading the series to my daughters in a couple of years.
You can contact me at my Etsy shop at http://AshleyPahl.etsy.com, or email me at Ashley@AshleyPahl.com. Thanks for the chance to win the bookplates!
My favorite childrens book is The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. It is incredibly prolific & imaginative, I cannot imagine what sort of person I'd be had it never entered my life. It is my favorite book.
I also collect childrens books - mostly Beverly Cleary, American Girl series, Katherine Patterson & Judy Blume :)
email: glassofwin@gmail.com
There are so many good ones...I was an avid reader beginning at 5 ("I am so smart - SMRT")...
It's a toss-up between "Where the Sidewalk Ends" and "The Phantom Tollbooth"...
but advice for Bun's library, get some Skippyjon Jones (so much fun to read!) and some Eric Carle "1,2,3...To The Zoo" is Marley's absolute favorite now for about six months running...animals, trains, and BALLOONS! Oh yea - there's this really great character that we all love called "Polo" (I think he's French) but it doesn't matter because the story is just laid out in sequential images and you make it up. Great fun at bedtime.
Best,
Tara

As a girl I adored the Trixie Belden books.
For my boys I am slowly gathering the whole set of Roald Dahl books and we are also big fans of The Famous Five.
For really little ones you simply must have a beautiful Mother Goose hardcover, I recommend the one illustrated by Rosemary Wells. My First Mother Goose.

Roald Dahl's BFG <3
Lovely bookplates--remind me so much of my childhood! One of my very favorites was In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak! I love his illustration style in general, but this book really fascinated me much more than his classic Where the Wild Things Are. But I loved everything Sendak, also including Really Rosie.

It would have to be "The Pokey Little Puppy". I think I read that book to my children 500+ times!
Here's my new giveaway http://christiecottage.blogspot.com/2010/03/win-it-wednesday_23.html
I love these! My fav. book as a child was Charlotte's Web, although I was shocked and cried the 1st time I read it. Thanks! Jeanette at thealldays(at)msn.com
"Tickle tickle" by helen oxenbury. Actually any of her books...they're short enough for you to memorize (which will come in VERY handy when bun wants a story and you are busy doing something else, babe sits and flips the pages while I sew and I recite it for her).
Also its in board book copy so that's a BIG giant PLUS.
Wonderful giveaway!
I love A Penguin Story right now and my kids are crazy for it....growing up I loved The Story of Ferdinand and Leo the Late Bloomer.
These are so fabulous! I collect children's literature, so I have LOTS of favorites! LOL! One that really has always stood out since I was a kid is The Polar Express. I just love that story! jinglesells at gmail dot com

Those are adorable! It's so hard to choose a favorite book. I guess I'll say "The Island of the Blue Dolphins." Thanks for the giveaway!
I loved The Phantom Tollbooth, Disney Books (like Snow White), Winnie The Pooh, The Chronicles of Narnia... I'm not sure if Watership Down is exactly considered children's literature, but I did read it in Elementary School and then when I got a bit older. That one is one of my all time favorites.
Thank you for this opportunity :)

I was such a voracious reader as a child that it's hard to pick! I have an aunt who was a children's librarian, and she would send me giant boxes of old books, which I would then devour.
Probably my favorite baby book is "Pat the Bunny". So stinkin' cute! ;)
Hi
When I was about 9 I found in the house which was generally full of random books ..The Hobbit, I loved it and still do, not least because more books followed it :)

Great Giveaway!! Have always loved the Ramona books:) Also, Nancy Drew!
Definitely Winnie the Pooh was my favorite :)
Oh gosh, my favorite by far has always been Dr. Seuss's "The Sneetches & Other Stories", particularly the one about the pants with no one inside them (I think it was called "What was I afraid of?")! Wonderful book! I'm also smitten with the Olivia the Pig books, even though they're way past my time!
Great shop, great giveaway! I would just LOVE to win these bookplates!
Sincerely,
Becca

I did love Winnie the Pooh - also the Madeline books.
I love Peter Rabbit, we had this beautiful boxed set as kids and my sister is going to get. I'm not to happy about that :) ambrerose(!at)aol.com
My fave books are two LLama Llama Red Pajama, and Llama Llama Mad at Mama
they are books I have received one from the doctor's office for my son, and I liked it so much I went out and bought the second one. They are my son's fave books also. We love to read them together
I loved Dick and Jane!! The artwork, alone, was awesome. My favorite book, thus far, is a C.S. Lewis book...doesn't help you with inspiration, as this is a book called, "The Great Divorce"...not what you may think that it means.
Childhood book....The Velveteen Rabbit.
You do marvelous work. How cool about the baby shower, etc. Thank you for pointing me over here as I've been limited on blog reading time, lately. Time to catch up!

Such sweet bookplates! For me, Goodnight Moon is a must! "Goodnight nobody." It gets me every time.
Just follow the name link for my info:)
my favorite book was this gross cookbook. It was by Ronald Dahl I believe his name is. He wrote Willy Wonka and all of those. The cook book had real recipes that were shaped like gross things. :)

My all time favorite is Alice in Wonderland which I find more and more enjoyable over the years.
Nowadays I'm a big fan of Curious George! My daughter is crazy about him and I was happy to discover it too! Fun, witty and charming illustrations.
I loved the Disney books, especially Cinderella. As I got a little older I really enjoyed Nancy Drew.
