My dad has that expression in tamil, makes me chuckle every time I think about it - makes me more tolerant towards Ana's obsession with terms like "poo-poo-head" and "fart-face" :) Seriously though, loved everything you had to share - Dr.Seuss is an inspiration!<br /><br />Tharini:: I can't wait for next year's compilation featuring your favorite!<br /><br />Ranjani:: Your made-up bedtime story about the colorful butterfly resonated with me - I can't seem to dislodge that tidbit from my memory. And am glad for that :)<br /><br />Summer 2009 favorite with Ana was Theo.LeSieg's I Wish That I had Duck Feet - she wanted to be a Which-what-who so desperately :)<br /><br />Praba, TMM, Choxbox, Poppy, utbt:: It was my pleasure!

Thanks to you and everyone on the team for taking the time.:) I sure did have fun. <br /><br />Sandhya, P.D.Eastman's Are you my mother? is a HUGE favorite in our family as well. By default, this is the "first" real story that gets read in the family, during toddler years. And naturally with lines memorized, also becomes the first book the kids start reading by/to themselves. (sidenote: we love sounding like the SNORT..:)) A simply glorious book - has warmed our hearts for a thousand read alouds. I can go on and on... And thanks to Dr.Seuss for supporting P.D.Eastman! :)Praba Ramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124515962155387444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-37324538123706099732010-03-02T06:06:15.629-08:002010-03-02T06:06:15.629-08:00@Sandhya: And we are glad that it is so.

Dr.Seuss's HOP ON...Awesome compilation Sheela.<br /><br />Dr.Seuss's HOP ON POP board book was the first book that I read to my older one and the book used to travel with us 24x7. At a point of time she used to hold the book and read it out of memory. One fine day, I found her holding the book and reading every word much slowly. She was actually reading it!!! I have that copy in my memory box, tattered, spilled with cereal, ripped, some pages puffed with water spills..... But that book (and Seuss)is precious in many ways.<br /><br />Another trivia about Green eggs and ham, another fav at home. Seuss was challenged by a friend to write a book with 50 words or lesser. Thus Green Eggs and Ham was born. I remember this from one of the presentations I did on Seuss for one of my classes.utbtkidshttp://www.utbtkids.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-46383666416334998032010-03-02T05:30:42.739-08:002010-03-02T05:30:42.739-08:00What a treat Sheela!

Our favourite books have been many. We like ‘The cat in the hat’ and its sequel for the pure mayhem and irreverence. We like ‘Fox in socks’ and ‘Oh say, can you say’ for its tongue twisters. We have spent a lot of time savouring the sheer pleasure of those words. I have put ‘Green eggs and ham’ to good use to make her eat something that she feels she will not like. We like ‘oh, the things you can think’, ‘McElligot’s pool’ and ‘Oh, the places you’ll go’, for the sheer imagination. ‘The lorax’, for what it teaches about protecting the environment. I could go on and on. Dr. Seuss rocks. Our special favourite is actually a book by P. D. Eastman, also a part of the ‘Cat in the Hat’ series. It is a book called ‘Are you my mother?’ We have read it so many times since before she understood english. I would tell her the story in Marathi and the pictures did the rest. We have lost track of the number of children we have gifted this book.sandhyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-19336807543935757522010-03-02T00:33:51.626-08:002010-03-02T00:33:51.626-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vibhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251018763698523629noreply@blogger.com
