The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Billy @ Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the hop on February 15, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book-related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to their own blogs.
Yes! I’ll start with a famous quote by C.S. Lewis: “No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty.”
I still read The Chronicles of Narnia and the Little House books sometimes. The Horse and His Boy is my favorite Narnia book and The Long Winter is my favorite Little House book. I still read Middle Grade books for review and have re-read some of them and picked up new favorites. I consider Middle Grade books “children’s books” too because 12 and under are still children. I have never forgotten the comforting rhymes of the Dr. Seuss books. Since I became a grandparent 8 years ago, I am sure I have read Goodnight Moon 143 million times, and I still appreciate it.
How about you? Do you still enjoy reading Children’s Books?
Like you Bonnie, I am a grandma and love reading to and with my grandkids. I enjoy all books whether children’s picture books, MG, YA or adult. I use the excuse that I have to read them to see if my grands will like them, but I enjoy them too. I especially love picture books!
Ha ha. It’s a great excuse but we don’t really need one.
I love reading children’s books! I’ve read several by Diana Wynne Jones this year, and I revisit The Dark Is Rising sequence when I can. Coraline by Neil Gaiman is one of my absolute favorites.
I haven’t read those. I’ll have to check them out.
If/when you do, I hope you enjoy them! 🙂
I was thinking mostly of the middle grade type books when I answered as well. Some of those titles are still among my favorites.
Definitely! Middle graders are children too.
Yes, I do. In fact, my husband has been known to give me children’s books as birthday and Christmas gifts.
What a great gift!
I thought so!
I definitely read children’s literature a lot! For work and even more for fun!
I saw on your website you do fairytale retellings. I have read a couple of fairytale retellings and enjoyed them.
Well, I’ve only written one book so far, but if you decide to check it out at some point, I hope you enjoy it too!
Still read a bunch with grandkids, but what’s so fun is my daughter, son, and I still talk about how much we all love P.D. Eastman – Are you my mother? Ted and Fred, and Dr. Seuss, Mister Brown can Moo, Fox in Sox…lol
Are You My Mother was my favorite as a kid
My middle name is Robin, Bonnie, so of course, Are you My Mother was my favorite too:)
I love that quote!!!
I do read children’s books and love them. Bu then, children’s books are not just for children.
I’m at the toddler book stage with my little one but each day I try and push us further advanced books. I look forward to reading children’s short stories with her and discussing books with her. I love the fantasy books with short and sweet chapters
I love the toddler stage! I’ve read Goodnight moon three million times, I’m sure.
