Heheh I loved it! It's funny you should bring up that book because guess what I have on my bedside table to start reading again tonight ?
Isn't it strange how you forget things .. I think I have read that book at least twice and still cant remember most of the story. Although I was about 8 at the time.

That's so true. For some reason, the parts I do remember are the silliest parts. Like I still remember Edmund eating the Turkish Delight and having a little candy fantasy. LOL Completely irrelevant, but I remember it.
Herbert the Timid Dragon
(and any other Mercer Mayer stories--the Little Critter Series ROCKS!) hee hee!
My personal fav....
There was a childrens' book called: THE NONSENSE BOOK.
It was written by Edward Lear.
It had tons of limericks, poems, songs and stories.
I loved it. It had incredible drawings and I could read it cover to cover, and never tire of it.
Back in 1992, while visiting friends in western Canada, I was allowed to sleep in a spare room. In there, was a book shelf with hundreds of books, mostly childrens and teen novels.
I scan through, and what do I see: The NONSENSE BOOK. I had not seen it in nearly 20 years. I was so happy. I grabbed it, and took it to bed and read it.
"The Owl & The Pussycat", "The Jabberwocky" and all the famous limericks I once knew.
I think maybe book 3 of must reads, will be to pick this up, and simply have it with me. It gave me so much comfort on cold lonely nights as a kid.
As a child and even now I don't like to read books, due to reading hurts my eyes and gives me a headache (I have insurance now so I will be getting glasses FINALLY).
Anyways, the books that I LOVED were the Ms. Piggle Wiggle books. If you have never read one, even as an adult you would LOVE them.
I can't explain the books, but I must say Ms. Piggle Wiggle has some very creative ways of "fixing" childhood problems or habits.
