Favorite Children’s Book
I read so many books as I was growing up, that I don't have a favorite. I love the "classics" - books that have meaning to me in certain times of my life. Charlotte's Web, Island of the Blue Dolphins, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are just a few of my favorites.
