Winnie the Pooh, because it was the main book I remember my mother reading to me in bed every night. There was just something about him and his friends that delighted me. And I am forever telling parents and others about the value of reading to your kids. That is the only sure way to reading, literacy, vocabulary, writing . . . and even happiness.

'Wind in the Willows' by Kenneth Grahame, Jamie.

My older sister inspired my imagination by telling my brothers and I wonderful stories of secret worlds through the back of wardrobes (little did I know she borrowed that idea :) ) and so from an early age, say 5 or 6, I fell in love with imaginative stories. Wind in the Willows was so clever to my child mind and I became quite the avid reader.

Thank you for taking me back to those days of such imaginative fun with your post. Hugs to you, my friend. x
