I don't know how you stand with Pooh, but to me he's the greatest.
I'm not talking about the bright yellow guy sporting the red shirt that Disney adapted, but he's adorable too. I'm talking about the naked bear that hangs out with the little kid decked out in monstrously cute 20's outfits.
Any book that starts with a map is bound to be an epic adventure!
My mother used to read this to my brother & me, & when I moved out, she gave the book to me.
Now, I've kept up the tradition by reading to Mr. Acorns & the fur babies as we go to sleep, and every time I end up waking him up by laughing.
Seriously.
And, Bonus!, playing Poohsticks is pretty fun.
"Now one day Pooh and Piglet and Rabbit and Roo were all playing Poohsticks together. They had dropped their sticks in when Rabbit said "Go!" and then they had hurried across to the other side of the bridge, and now they were all leaning over the edge, waiting to see whose stick would come out first. But it was a long time coming, because the river was very lazy that day, and hardly seemed to mind if it didn't ever get there at all."
What was your favorite book as a kid? Do you still read it?

aww, this is so sweet! children's books are the best and it's great to learn about how cool sth was pre-disney.
you should look into tove jansson's moomintrolls books, they're just adorable and nature-centered.
I agree! I love those maps at the beginning of kids books, when I was little I remember wanting to live in that map so badly....
