Little Black Sambo by Helen Bannerman
"It was the story of a boy who didn't know that shoes belonged on feet and not on ears. I could relate cause I didn't always know what proper or acceptable behaviors were."
Lee Bidwell
Are you there God? It's me Margaret By Judy Blume
"I read it when I was 12, then again when I was 13. It was the first experience I had with literature where I felt I could truly relate to the main character. I was amazed that the author could describe the experience of girl's early adolescence perfectly."
Where the Red Fern Grows "It is such a beautiful story that I've enjoyed sharing with my children."
James Jordan
Tootle by Gertrude Crampton
"My mother read it to me. I associate it with her."
Ken Perkins
The Three Billy Goats Gruff a Norwegian folktale
Carl Riden
The Little Mermaid By Hans Christian Anderson (Most Favorite)
A String in the Harp By Nancy Bond
"A String in the Harp" is the story of children facing hard times with just a father. I lived only with a father also. I really loved the fantasy and escape elements of the story as well. I also really loved the original binding. The book felt good."
