This month marks the birthdate of Theodore Geisel . . . and the wisdom of Dr. Seuss got us thinking of our own favorite children's books. Here are a few votes. Post your favorite, too!
"My favorite book was Green Eggs and Ham. I loved the crazy places and ways Sam I am showed up and asked Would you? Could you?"
Bob West
Operations Director for Family Talk
"I'm one of those guys who doesn't remember a ton about my childhood. The earliest book I remember enjoying was the Curious George books, probably just because the monkey was cute. Maybe I wanted to be a safari guide or a zoo keeper at one point."
Luke Stephens
General Manager for WAY Radio
"In 1960, age 5 (had my 6th birthday in the hospital) I had Rheumatic Fever and was not expected to live. During my 3 month stay in the hospital Pinocchio was read to me many times and I was told that, like Pinocchio, I could grow up to be who my Creator envisioned me to be."
Steve Cross
Director of Marketing for NRB
"Loved Huck Finn. Have wanted to float the Mississippi on a raft ever since! Tried to take a trip down the Mississippi a couple summers ago. Found out they don't just let anybody rent a boat and go on it."
Jim Garlow
Speaker for "The Garlow Perspective"
"While my mom worked, my Grammie, who lived with us, often read to my sister and I the abridged story of Heidi, and I think it was my favorite, because she found something, yes someone, in her little attic alcove amongst the whispering pines and starry night."
Sharon Malone
Operations Manager at WSEW/WWPC

Paddington and all of the books that they wrote about him.I liked it the time he slept over in the Department Store- Andrea Minnon, daughter of Sharon Malone of WSEW-WWPC.
(I queried my children ages 40 to 25, and this is what our oldest said !)
The Chip Hilton Sports Stories, written by Claire Bee. Looking back, I appreciate the legacy of his father (who died while Chip was young), the impact of the strong character of his mother, and the "good vs. evil" story lines. Recently, I began collecting this series.
