So glad to see that Anthony Browne is in your list!
ReplyDeleteI've come across a delightful poem by Anthony Browne and I felt compelled to share it with my fellow reading lovers! It's a short poem, but it sure put a smile on my face!
It's on my blog - http://arewenearlythereyet.wordpress.com/2010/01/14/after-that-i-had-a-stummercake/.
Hope you enjoy (it's a special exclusive!!) :D x
Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThe list is now available on the 1001 site: http://www.1001beforeyoudie.com/.
It's worth hunting down the book itself: 1001 children's books you must read before you grow up. The reviews are great.
