One of my favorites is Where the Wild Things Are (Maurice Sendak). The story is delightfully fantastic, and the illustrations pull you into Max's world, but my favorite part of this book is the prose. The book contains only a few sentences, but they are written so perfectly that they flow off my tongue like lazy summer waves. I love how Max sailed off "through night and day and in and out of weeks and almost over a year...", and how, in the end, he just "wanted to be where someone loved him best of all." Beautiful.
Your turn: What book do you enjoy no matter how many times you read it?
Suggested age range: 4-8 years per Amazon (although it works with my almost-three-year-old)

The ones I could read over and over (and my kids would probably say DID read over and over) were the Frog and Toad books. I loved the relationship between the two characters, the humor, and the terrific illustrations.
ReplyDeleteThose are great books! I really enjoyed reading them while we were at your house. :)
