Great books listed, Ginger! I found God's wisdom for little girls at the Goodwill and was so excited I was dancing in the aisle!
Not sure now which list they're on, but I've got Caps for Sale, The Story about Ping, and Katy No Pocket on my lists too!
I LOVE Ping!!
oops!! I didn't see ping on this list and didn't even notice this was "part 2"! Sorry about that!
Hi Ginger,
I just have to share something funny & sweet... I had been culling through our twaddle the last couple of weeks, and printed the lists from AO to look for titles we don't have, and then I found your 3 & 4 yo lists. I started checking off books we own as I found them, and there were about 10 or so between the lists that I couldn't find, but was pretty sure we owned.
Fast forward to returning home from a great trip to Half Priced Books, and later that night climbing up on my 11 yo son's loft bed to read with him. He had a mountain of books piled up there - and across the room I could see that my 10 yo son had a pile, too! There among the stacks of CS Lewis, Tolkein, and Frances Hodgson Burnett books, were their favorite picture books... the ones from your lists that I couldn't find! Ping, Katy, Alexander, Caps for Sale, etc...
I was really glad I hadn't bought any of them again, but more than that was touched by what they'd chosen to keep on their beds... I hadn't even thought to go up there to look for picture books!
Thanks for your lists! Here are some other favorites of ours:
