Children books open up a world of dreams and creativity! Have you looked at any lately? I own several children books and writing a few of my own. My favorite is Mr Postman, with all the little opening letters and postcards that you can unfold during the read. I also like the Giving Tree, and feel nostalgic reading Where the Wild Things are. I know there are many more I have forgotten, but planning to explore them! What are your favorites, or ones you remember that gave you an impact?

The Giving Tree is one of my all time favourite books. I read it every once in awhile and have read it to many children and adults as well. I also enjoy giving it as a gift.


myLot reputation of 87/100. earthmother (342)  4 years ago

I just read that one this morning! :) You read it to children and adults? That's awesome, do you do that just to share the story, or are you a teacher? I tried to volunteer at the library to read books to children but they never called me back, so I'm thinking of doing that on my own some where. And yes books are the best gifts ever!


myLot reputation of 59/100. MonkOVision (936)  4 years ago

I am not a teacher, but I have taken opportunities to do this. I think the message of the book needs to be shared.


myLot reputation of 87/100. earthmother (342)  4 years ago

That is so great that you think that and share that! They are blessed to have someone special like you who share happiness with them! Thanks for the inspiration!


myLot reputation of 59/100. MonkOVision (936)  4 years ago

Oh no, I believe that I receive more of a blessing, or at least more joy, when I get to share like this. But I do hope that they take something positive from the experience.


myLot reputation of 87/100. earthmother (342)  4 years ago

That's true, I can see how it is a blessing to be able to share your joy of a book and the happiness within with people who are amazing!

I love children's books and would love to write them. My preferences are for older children -middle graders and young adults. I make it a point to read Little Women at least once a year. Another favorite is A Little Princess. Also Charlotte's Web, one of the best books ever -including adult books. And, of course, new authors keep writing new books for children that I keep discovering. I just read an excellent fantasy/adventure novel for young adults called Graceling.


myLot reputation of 87/100. earthmother (342)  4 years ago

I have heard of Little Women, but have not read it, I will check that out thank you! I haven't hear of Little Princess or Graceling, I will look into that as well. And yes Charlotte's Web is a classic, I remember liking the book as a child but don't remember too much of the story, I am going to re read it. Discovering new books is always exciting, but re reading the old forgotten books and rediscovering the messages and emotions in them are priceless!! Thanks for all the titles!

Charlotte's Web is the book that made me fall in love with reading. Still love to read it every now and then.

Hello, earthmother. Welcome to myLot.

I adore childrens book. They make me happy. You have listed two of my all time favorites here, The Giving Tree and Where the Wild Things Are.

I love the Giving Tree so much that I often give it as a gift. I enjoy reading it to my son. We read it just this week and when we were done he looked up at me and said "That's mommy's favorite".

Like you, I too am writing a few childrens books of my own. It is just something I do for fun.


myLot reputation of 87/100. earthmother (342)  4 years ago

That's sweet and inspiring that you share such stories with your son!! I would love to read any stories you come out with if you make it available for the public. I hope to share mine soon! Children books are great!!

I enjoy Shel Silversteen's books a lot especially the Giving Tree and the Big O. I enjoy The Little Prince, also. There are many lessons that are told that some adults need to remember themselves.
