I know this will give you quite the insight into my psyche, but I think "children's" books like this are just brillant and highly amusing! Here are a few others I love:
Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book - it's filled with images of smashed fairies that the girl catches. BRILLANT!
There is no better book for a melancholy! Loved this book as a child and I have quite an interesting story to go with it. Perhaps another day.
I use Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No good, Very bad Day for one of my therapeutic groups for children. I have a little activity booklet that I made (old school cut and paste style) that goes with it. The kiddies love it.
ReplyDeleteThe pressed fairy book is one of my favorites too, but weirdly, I don't think I own it.
