It was all in rhyme, and it featured a very large evergreen that is lopped off to fit in Mr. Willowby's mansion. The top, which gets ever smaller, is owned by the maid, a bear, a fox, and so on until the tiny tip of that big tree is decorated by a mouse family living right there in Mr. W's house. I loved this book when I was a child, and my own children loved it as well. I was thrilled to find it still in print, now with color added to the pen and ink drawings. I still like the original version best!Laura Sorcenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820369028684428764.post-28546405236321380362010-01-23T11:47:36.561-05:002010-01-23T11:47:36.561-05:00I loved the Amelia Badelia series.

And who knows, there might be a grandkid or two miraculously appear in years to come. I can hope :) -Tammy p.s.

Jenna's favorite series growing up was Junie B. Jones. (We were just talking about them the other day.) Kristen loved Curious George. The only books I remember from my childhood were the Christmas books my mom brought out every year. We read and re-read them the whole Christmas season long. And then I eventually read them to my girls.lookleephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206272726141516343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820369028684428764.post-71743640558288093812010-01-21T17:09:15.210-05:002010-01-21T17:09:15.210-05:00Oh Mercer Mayer!!
