Favorite Children's book

Choosing my favorite children's book is pretty difficult considering how my mother is a total book worm and introduced me to them at a very young age. I remember being 5-7 years old and having a stack of books. My mom had made a deal with me, if I was good and behaved well, she would award me with a different book. I never knew what the book would be about, and that excited me. I received a new book each week. I remember reading Dora's adventures, Clifford and many more. Eventually my mom bought me a Dr.Seuss collection. It had every Dr.Seuss book ever written and it also had a few stuffed animals and cd's and even a backpack! I loved my books so much! Then one day, my religious grandma came by and said that those books were bad and that they would bring demons into my house. So she threw them all away. Anyway, I'm getting a little off topic but I suppose two of my favorite books are Chrysanthemum and Corduroy. Both of these books have been mentioned by two of my classmates as their own personal favorite book, and even though I had planned to be original, I came to the conclusion that I can't deny my appreciation for those books. I liked the vivid pictures and as for Corduroy, I loved how much imagination was put into it. After reading it, I always thought of all my teddy bears and different stuffed animals. I didn't want to leave any of them out of my tea parties and adventures. I believe both books contain valuable, teachable lessons. Even though they are really old books, they have great value. Chrysanthemum deals with teasing and how a teacher handled the situation and how Chrysanthemum, as a student, felt because of this. I think it could help children understand when they are making someone feel bad and why they shouldn't do it. As for Corduroy, I think it makes children understand empathy a little more and opens up warm feelings as well as learning to care about other things that by sight might not look appealing. I read those when I was really small and I even kept the books now that I'm older. I believe children books should be enjoyable for all ages. Those two books have stuck with me since childhood and I plan to pass the importance of reading and especially reading these books to my future children.
