I'm still alive! Though I haven't been around LJ much (it's mostly twitter and tumblr as of late), I happened to be perusing my friends' page today and I noticed your post, so I had to comment on it!
Honestly, I don't remember a time where I wasn't dropped off in some corner of a store! ...but, uhm, that sounds a bit off. lol |D Basically, it was easier on my mom and more fun for me! A win-win situation. :)
As for Pat the Bunny, it certainly is a classic! ^^ It was one of the first 'interactive' books I can remember playing with as a kid - though the scratch-and-sniff part never really worked for me either :P Well, lack of scents aside, it's definitely a book worth passing on to future generations or someone who's expecting.
Actually, this post got me thinking about other books I had throughout my childhood. Dr. Seuss, Little Bear, Frog and Toad, Nursery Rhymes, and a slew of other classic readers... but the one that always stands out as my most favorite is a book my grandmother owned and used to read to me when I would visit her. It's called, The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes... just thinking about it gets me a little teary-eyed and sentimental.
The story is told exactly as if had been passed down from one family member to the next, and although it has an Easter theme, I really think it's the type of book you can read all year round. :3 It's heart-warming, teaches lessons, and is even has some 'girl power' thrown in (if you choose to look at it that way). Oh! and the illustrations are just as lovely and memorable as the story. I love it so much, I even asked my grandma if I could have it, so now it's nestled safely in with the rest of my keepsakes. ♥
Anyway, I think I've rambled a bit too much (as usual |D) so if you're interested in taking a look at some of the pictures from the book and learning a bit about the story, you can check it out here: http://www.vintagechildrensbooksmykidloves.com/2008/03/country-bunny-and-little-golden-shoes.html
That's about it from me for today~ take care dear! ♥
P.S. - Do you still reside at the same address you gave during the CC exchange at 5x5? I'm making my Christmas card list and I'd like to send you one. ;)
