Feature & Follow #3: Favorite Picture Books As a Kid

The Feature & Follow is hosted by Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. The goal is to get new followers, make friends and introduce yourself to new people. This is the meet and greet of the book blog world.

This Week's Questions:
What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? 

My absolute favorite picture books growing up were Rose Petal Place. I still adore these books so much that I have been contemplating buying them off Amazon for quite some time, but I am trying to find these childhood treasures at a secondhand shop. There is just something more enchanting about stopping in a little book shop to see if by chance I will find them after years of searching. It would be serendipity.

If you have kids, what are your favorite to read to them?

I would read a little bit of everything but two books that would be most prominent in my children's lives would be Little Bear's Little Boat and Grace For President. My boyfriend actually found Little Bear's Little Boat in Target one day when we were shopping for a birthday gift for my friend's one year old. My boyfriend said we need to buy this book. I started reading it and literally started crying...in Target. It is the sweetest book about sharing. I have since bought a copy for my nieces.

Grace For President was a Christmas gift for my niece with a president barbie doll. In this book, the girl asks her teacher why there are no female presidents and decides to run for class president. As a political science graduate, I am very adamant  in the importance of voting and women's involvement in politics. This book actually teaches kids about the Electoral College in a cute and simple way.
