Friend's Favorites

Just for fun, I asked around to a couple of my friends which books were their favorites as litte kids. Only two of the five I had ever heard of, which makes me wonder if some of these books are regional. They also gave me their reasons why and I've listed them below.

Noisy Nora by Rosemary Wells: This book was liked because it was simply funny. She was getting in trouble for making noise.

The Indoor Noisy Book by Margaret W Brown: Again, a book I've never heard of, my friend liked this book because Muffin the puppy was cute. My friend that liked this also liked the Noisy Nora book, which makes me question if she had a liking for noise.

Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina: My friend that liked this book said it was fun because you got to count all the caps on every page. She enjoyed the interactive part of the story.

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff: This was one of my well-liked children's books and I never could figure out why. It was repetitive so you knew what was coming-it wasn't as though it was a surprise or anything. But perhaps that was the point of it, it was repetitive and so it became familiar in a world of growing up and learning new, unfamiliar things as a child.

Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown: This, again, was one of my favorites. I loved it as a bedtime story, as most children do. I cherished the time I had with my father as he put me to bed. One of my friends said it was special to her becase she got to find the white mouse on every page-it became a game.
