Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie (in Spanish)
"It
is still my favorite and now my son likes it in both English and Spanish."
"This book brought the reader to new worlds besides your home on earth. In addition, because it promotes creativity and imagination."
Dr Buckalew
Reptiles and Amphibians
"It is not my favorite book anymore. I would choose Danny Kaye's Around the World Story Book because it presents stories, legends, and myths from countries all over the world. Its stories illustrate how much children are alike all around the world-- and theoretically, if more children come to know this, it may improve chances for future cooperation as these kids mature. It seems as if my generation either did not read this book or did not mature."
Dr. Ferguson
Little Hank the Handcar
"This
is still my favorite book"
"All of the trains and Hank had faces and I thought it would be great fun to have a railroad handcar and go traveling like in the book"

The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams, Books by Beverly Clearly
Mr. Bell's Fix-It Shop, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis.
"The
Velveteen Rabbit is not my favorite anymore. It was too sad. As for the
other books, I have
"I
have always had a strong affinity for animals. I think I was particularly fond
of the Velveteen Rabbit because I had a stuffed rabbit (which I still have) that
went everywhere with me."
Dr. M. Fink
James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl
"It
is still my favorite but I also like The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S.
Lewis and Gulliver's
Travels, by Jonathan Swift, now."
"I always enjoyed books about animals and fantastical creatures and also stories about traveling and far-away places. James and the Giant Peach combined both of these elements."
Dr. Friedman
Fat Men From Space by Daniel Manus Pinkwater
"It was outlandish and the premise was creative. It is still my favorite book."
Ms. Hodgson
Horton Hears A Who by Dr. Seuss
"It
is still my favorite and I have added The Lorax (also by Dr. Suess) to the #1 spot as
well."
"This book teaches valuable lessons about respect, loyalty, and being open to new ideas. As a child though, I just really liked Horton!"
Dr. Hooks
Go Dog Go by P.D. Eastman
"I don't know why this was my favorite book"
Dr. Palombella
Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
"It is still my favorite book, though for a different reason. I too want to be where someone loves me best of all."
Dr. Ross
The Billy Goats Gruff, a Norwegian folktale
"It
is not my favorite book anymore. Good Night Moon has replaced it
because it is cozy."
"I like The Billy Goats Gruff because it was scary."
Dr. Twombley
Planes For Bob and Andy
"It is still my favorite book. I wish I could find a copy, I would like to
read it again"
"It was about adventure and flying"
