My favorite book was Each Peach Pear Plum…I loved finding the characters! My daughter loves that book too now that she is three and old enough to find the characters!

Ooh, I’d love to give this to my niece! I’m not sure I can narrow it down, but my favorite books when I was growing up were the Baby-Sitters Club series, Matilda (Roald Dahl), and Superfudge (Judy Blume). Hmm, also Ramona Quimby, Age 8!
