Children's Book
What was your favorite children's book when growing up? Why was it so special to you?

The reason I ask is because my cousin is having a baby shower and her idea is to have all the guests bring a book they are willing to give up but I don't have a lot of children's books I will give up so I'm wondering about what were favorites to you. Any age because she's building a library for over her little girl's years.

A book I really loved as a kid was Imogen's Antlers. It is about a little girl who wakes up with antlers and her family is just crazed to get rid of them. They trying everything and finally come to the conclusion that there is nothing that can be done. Then the next morning she wakes and they are gone, but when she goes downstairs to show everyone they are shocked because now she has peacock feathers. I remember loving this book so much. I bought it for my niece and she loved it.

Also, there was a small book call Monster at the End of the Book. It was a Sesame Street book with Grover. The entire time you read Grover is scared and trying to prevent you from turning the pages and getting to the monster at the end of the book but when you do get there... guess who the monster is?

Those are two I plan on getting for my new cousin but I need some more suggestions.

I don't remember who told me about PaperBackSwap.com but I adore you! I have been a member for a couple months and have been swapping like a fiend. I put up a lot of my Star Trek Books because I won't be reading them again (minus Peter David) and wanted to be rid of them. I've posted other books. I've gotten books. I've posted the books I've gotten and read. It is like the library only you are paying the postage. The thing is if I get a book I must keep... it costs me about $2.13! I love that. You get credits for every book you swap which is like a free book but really not because you paid the $2.13 to ship a book to someone. If you want a book and have no credits you can buy one for $3.45. It is so simple and that make books cheaper than used bookstores.

And they even have SwapCD.com which is the same thing only with your CDs. I mean who doesn't have a ton of CDs you want rid of. I mean I do. I can post them their and swap to get something I really want! I love it.

My sister and I were 7th on the list for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. So we went up to the house for lunch and there was a message from the library saying we can pick it up at midnight! Woo Hoo! Here we come Harry Potter!
