I have always loved The Monster at the End of This Book (Starring Loveable Furry Old Grover). Great story…very dramatic for the reader.

I’m still in love with the story of “the little prince” (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)”Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
[Reply]
I loved the book The Magical Mystical Washing Macine about a magical washing machine in the woods. It was a library book that i read so much my mother photocopied all the pages and taped them together into a book. I got to color it too which made it extra exciting.
[Reply]
My favourite story as a child was ‘Each Peach Pear Plum’. I knew it off by heart! It’s a rhyming story that combines the game of ‘I spy’ with all the traditional fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters. Each page has is illustrated with a traditional fairy tale scene with the next ‘I spy’ character hidden somewhere for you to find. I recently shared it with my class (I’m a teacher) and they loved hunting for all the characters and singing the nursery rhymes and retelling the traditional tales.

Cute fabric! I loved I am a Bunny when I was very little and used to look for Nicholas and his hollow tree whenever we went to the park.
[Reply]
My kindergarten teacher used to tell our glass the folktale of Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby. She was a great storyteller, and every time she would substitute teach, we would make her tell us again (even when we were in high school)!

“I”ll love you forever” by Robert Munsch. I still can’t make it through without crying!

A Pocket for Corduroy! I loved (still love) the idea of sewing pockets on everything.
[Reply]
I loved The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin! So cute!
[Reply]
I always loved the story of the city mouse and the country mouse.
[Reply]
Little Red Riding Hood!
[Reply]
My fave would have to be “Lambert the Sheepish lion”. It’s about a lion who was raise by a sheep and was the biggest coward of them all. It took a wolf going after his mom to make him brave. I still sing the song to my kids!
[Reply]
my favorite story was the summer of the monkeys because my grandma used to read it to me.
[Reply]
My favorite book as a child was “Invitation to the Butterfly Ball” I liked it so much I grew up to name my blog after it!
[Reply]
My kids have Ferdinand and it IS a great book; I remember being fascinated by Rumpelstiltskin when I was little, plus too many others to list. Thanks for chance to win one of my favorite fabrics!
[Reply]
I was a huge fan of the Chronicles of Narnia and Little House books. I remember my parents reading them to me when I was a little girl.
[Reply]
When I was very little, I loved “Pickles the Fire Cat.” My mother has since confessed that she found it totally boring, but I wanted to hear it over and over!
[Reply]
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. It was and is my favorite children’s book!
[Reply]
I loved Green Eggs and Ham by Dr Seuss.
[Reply]
Behind the Attic Wall
It’s about a lonely little girl who discovers a set of dolls in the attic that can talk.
[Reply]
The story of chicken little was my fav when I was little.
[Reply]
My favorite were Aesop’s fables. The best one was sour grapes one.

i loved a book called nobody, every time the boy did something bad he blamed nobody who was a black and white stick figure . it was a great book
[Reply]
We had a pretty sweet goodnight book that was really cute. Plus, it featured a page saying, “Good night, joggers, there you go! Good night, dawdlers, why so slow?” Of course, the dawdlers were all overweight. It was a totally PC 1970s book…
[Reply]
I’d have to say “The Velveteen Rabbit”. It was amazing to think that stuffed animals could, possibly, be very nearly real…
[Reply]
I loved ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’
[Reply]
My favorite book was One Morning in Maine by Robert McCloskey. Now that I’m reading to my six month old, I am loving Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes by Mem Fox and Helen Oxenbury.
[Reply]
The Monster at the End of This Book. I have a copy at our cabin for my kids now & when it’s story time at night I’m always asking them if I can read that one.
[Reply]
Cute fabric! I really loved this book we had about a tiny elf that lived in a patch on Santa’s clothes. I wish I could remember the name of it!
[Reply]
I just love the meaning behind the story “Socks for Supper”.
[Reply]
I always loved the book “The Jolly Postman.” It tells the story of a postman going about his day, delivering mail to various fairy-tale characters. What I loved most was that each page had an envelope that contained a letter inside. I had so much fun opening those envelopes and reading the “mail.”
Thank you for such a fun giveaway!
[Reply]
I still love “Corduroy” – and I’m not just saying that because this is a fabric giveaway!
[Reply]
I loved Babar. I was shocked as a 5th grader when my best friend’s German mother pronounced my beloved elephant’s name with the emphasis on the second syllable. So continental–so foreign!

Well, this is about the prettiest little fabric that I’ve ever seen, and my 3-year-old is on a month-long little red kick. So, this made me google the name of my favorite story growing up, which I thought may have been made up by my grandmother, up until now, because it was in another country that it was told to me, in another language. It turns out, she didn’t make it up! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ole_Lukøje and that it is by Hans Christian Andersen. And, as the third trimester heartburn only can rage in your body at 3 am, I got to re-read and hear it again for the first time in almost 30 years. So, thank you
, and I think soon my daughter will enjoy this tale as much as I did.

I loved fairy stories as a kid. My best book was a large tome of traditional fairy stories, illustrated in colour by Mabel Lucie Atwell. Gorgeous.
[Reply]
My favorite was a book called ROBERT THE ROSE HORSE. It was about a horse who had to wear a rose garland around his neck during a parade. I still have the pages to the book – the cover is long gone.
[Reply]
I tweeted you today!
[Reply]
One of my favorite children’s books is One Snowy Day. Maybe part of it was the sweet little hooded cape the girl wore in the book!
[Reply]
My favorite story was Where The Wild Things Are. I loved when Max said “Let the wild rumpus begin!” I always thought a wild rumpus sounded like a good time!
[Reply]
I have always loved British children’s books: The Borrowers, The Chalet School, anything by Enid Blyton.
[Reply]
I loved the book My Side of the Mountain… I wanted to run away and live in the woods just like Sam did!
[Reply]

[Reply]
I loved Ira Sleeps Over, especially the teddy bear parts!
This fabric is terrific.

Rikki Tikki Tavi by Rudyard Kipling. When I meet people & tell them my name, no seems to get it when I say that my dad was a fan of Rudyard Kipling. Luckily, I am a fan, too
[Reply]
When I was a child I used to borrow “Little Appaloosa” from the library over and over again. I can’t remember how the story went but I can remember the name and what the cover looked like.
[Reply]
I always liked Corduroy and really wanted to take him home so he could feel all the love I had to give. Its one of my favs to read to my girls now. Ferdinand is also a good one!!

My mother read to me from a series of books called Tall Tales — the books were about 6″x12″ and beautifully illustrated. I also did enjoy Richard Scarry & hunting down Goldbug!
[Reply]
Little Red Riding Hood– was my daughter’s favorite book, my father would take her out to lunch or shopping (she was three at the time) And they always came home with a new riding hood book. Oh how she loved to listen to me read it to her, & when I was done she’d ask me to read it again. Now whenever I see the book or anything that has to do with riding hood, I smile & think of so many years ago when she was so young & how time flys. She is now 41 & she now reads to her daughter every night

I remember loving the Berenstein Bears books. We had a ton of them “The New Baby” was the one I asked for most!

We had a very very old copy of the Three Billy Goats Gruff I loved. It reminded me a lot of my grandparents farm. I still have the book, it is in our “someday” baby box.

Funny enough I was kind of fascinated with really sad stories when I was little, but grew out of it around 7 or 8. I loved The Little Match Girl – so sad!
[Reply]
I loved the Anne of Green Gables stories when i was younger!
[Reply]
Ahhh, Ferdinand is awesome! I have that book and I read it to my kids. I also loved Amelia Bedelia stories and this series about Dorrie the little witch.

i loved these big books of collected fairytales. i especially loved one called “Little Brother & Little Sister.” It was about a brother and sister who were devoted to each other and the brother drank some sort of enchanted water and turned into a deer every day.
[Reply]
my favorite story was always Jack and the Beanstalk, because my dad was named Jack.
[Reply]
Anne of Green Gables. The whole series.
[Reply]
My favorite story as a kid was the Little Prince and I can’t wait to be able to read it to my son, (he’s now into big picture books!). I have it in English and Spanish: El Principito.
[Reply]
My favorite story as a little kid was The Elephant and the Bad Baby. My poor dad had to read that book to me so many times he had it memorized.
[Reply]
I loved the story of Anne of Green Gables. Still a favorite.
[Reply]
There was this magical story about a dog named Towser and a cat named Sadie. It’s still my favorite, and even though we no longer have the book I “tell” it to my kids at bedtime.

A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh with Ernest Shepherd’s illustrations. The stories are hilarious and sweet and the characters are timeless. It is as much fun reading it now as it was in childhood. (the disney stuff is a sorry interpretation)
[Reply]
In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak was the best!
[Reply]
I love Little House on the Prairie
[Reply]
My favorite story was Pee Wee, the Circus Dog! I loved that book so much!
[Reply]
As a little kid, I loved the story of Snow White and Rose Red. My version was a beautifully painted book that was a darker version of the Disney Snow White story.. It was great! When I was a bit older, I looooved the Little House on the Prairie series
[Reply]
Mrs. Pepperpot! She (sassy) is the heroine of a series of Norwegian stories. A little old woman who randomly shrinks down to the size of a pepperpot and has adventures. I will definitely be reading about her to my children
[Reply]
I really liked the Elves and the Shoemaker.
[Reply]
I love the “Story of Ping”. It’s about a little duck on the Yangtze River who gets left behind while bobbing for food. I always felt a little sad for him, but loved this story.
[Reply]
I really liked the Blue Bug books. I haven’t seen them since I was preschool age.
[Reply]
The Little House on the Prairie books were also a favorite of mine. Still have them, too.
[Reply]
The Rainbow Goblins was one of my favorites. The pictures were just so amazingly beautiful.
[Reply]
Hi I loved reading Brer Rabbit. A spirited rabbit indeed.
[Reply]
My favorite childhood story was and still is The Paper Bag Princess. It’s about a princess who ends up saving herself (and her prince). She even calls him a bum at the end! It’s an incredibly cute and girl powered story that I hope to one day share with my own daughter.
[Reply]
I loved Dr. Desoto! My favorite part was when they glued his mouth shut! So FUNNY!!
[Reply]
The secret garden captivated me for a time…
[Reply]
As a child I loved The Little Engine that Could – “I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!” I still enjoy the story and read it to my boys. =)
[Reply]
I loved Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. I can’t say how many times I got that from the library to read it over and over.
[Reply]
I loved Harold & the Purple Crayon. I just bought it recently for my kids. I loved that Harold saw nothing but potential, that he could create his own reality and whatever he wanted.
Thanks for the chance to win.
[Reply]
My dad used to read us this book called Frog And Dog Have A Party when we were really little. I can’t remember much about the storyline, but I think it was along the lines of Dog trying to throw a party and Frog being a real downer about it all and Dog trying to inspire him with details – balloons, games and food. I remember the food the most – “squidgy bananas” meant dad would tickle us. And the funny voice he put on when reading out Frog’s lines. Ahhh, good times!
[Reply]
Around 4th or 5th grade I loved a book called Harriet the Spy.
[Reply]
Gosh – I practically devoured books when I was little and my daughter is no exception. My favourites as a girl were Jack & The Beanstalk (Ladybird book version which is scary!) and Snow White & Rose Red. I love reading anything Grimm’s to my wee girl and I cannot wait until she is old enough to read Harry Potter.

My favorite story as a child has to be the jolly postman. I loved opening the little letters in the envelopes. I even bought a copy for my baby girl to grow up reading.
[Reply]
My grandmother was born in 1893. She had a REALLY old book of Grimm’s Fairy Tales that was beautifully illustrated; I believe it must’ve been published when my dadddy was a baby. My favorite was the story of Snow White and Rose Red, two sisters who live with their mother. They take a bear into their home on a snowy, wintry night to sleep by the fire. I won’t tell you the rest in hopes you’ll seek it out yourself, lol! But the lesson I learned was similar to the good Samaritan; take care of those who need you in times of trouble. It had a deep and lasting effect on me.
Thanks!

I don’t have any memories of bedtime stories or circletime from early childhood. I do however, distinctly remember one of the first books I received as a birthday present: Bartholomew and the oobleck. My first exposure to the amazing works of Dr Seuss.
[Reply]
My favorite story as a child was actually a local one. About an old family member who buried treasure on our family land. I used to dream about finding it while out playing in the woods :0) I actually still have that dream.
[Reply]
I loved the Beverly Cleary series, and read them over and over. The one I remember the best is how Henry found his dog Ribsy and begged his parents to keep him. Thanks for the giveaway – I love this new line of Aneela Hoey fabrics, and particularly love the Little Red Riding Hood print!
