All kinds of information in those things, like breeds and feeding and everything. We learn to read by reading about things that interest us, don't we?Linda Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948970237555890150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865330614535830838.post-5506189758324092072011-06-05T07:24:08.468-07:002011-06-05T07:24:08.468-07:00I loved my mom dearly, but sadly, she was not a re...I loved my mom dearly, but sadly, she was not a reader. I don't remember her ever reading a single story to me. My father was a voracious reader, but never read to us kids. Nevertheless, books were the treasure of my childhood. Though it wasn't a traditional picture book, one of my favorite books as a kid was the AKC book put out by Purina Dog Chow. I read that thing until it completely fell apart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865330614535830838.post-38471222266849849192011-06-04T17:54:03.221-07:002011-06-04T17:54:03.221-07:00Dreaming, I must have missed Three Little Horses! ...Dreaming, I must have missed Three Little Horses! It's a horse book I haven't read - I'll have to look for it. Yard sales are one of my favorite places to find books, and I love it when you find an old, cherished one that brings back memories.Linda Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948970237555890150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865330614535830838.post-7401196659643900372011-06-04T17:25:16.246-07:002011-06-04T17:25:16.246-07:00I remember trading a toy for a book when I was 7. ...I remember trading a toy for a book when I was 7. The book was called "Three Little Horses". I loved the book and since I only had a handful of books, they all stick in my mind. When my boys were little I found my favorite book in a collection at a yard sale. I bought the collection. Sadly, my boys just couldn't get into a story about horses who dress in costumes to go visit a town!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.com
