Mine are mostly by Dutch authors, but I've read the Little House books as well. My kids love reading and they both have a huge collection, of which I happily borrow something now and then :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840577.post-83773030076602846122007-11-13T20:18:00.000-05:002007-11-13T20:18:00.000-05:00I haven't heard of Frederick the mouse before, but...I haven't heard of Frederick the mouse before, but he sounds just my cup of tea!

I also loved Alice in Wonderland and all the Winnie the Pooh books, and a lovely Little Golden Book called Mr. Bear Squash-You-All-Flat, about a mean bear who sat on the other critters' houses and squashed them. Then the critters banded together and made their homes in a big tire, with predictable consequences for Mr. Bear SYAF.bozoettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16608773751475479059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840577.post-19571640457147414282007-11-13T10:00:00.000-05:002007-11-13T10:00:00.000-05:00AnnieClaus says:FREDERICK is one of my favorites, ...AnnieClaus says:<BR/>FREDERICK is one of my favorites, too, along with SWIMMY and anything by Richard Scarry.
