"My favorite book as a child was But No Elephants! by Jerry Smith. It was about an old lady named Grandma Tildy who bought many pets from a salesman, but would not buy an elephant! I loved the book so much that I asked for (and got) a purple elephant cake for my 4th birthday."
From Mrs. DeCleene:
“My favorite childhood book is Purple, Green and Yellow by Robert Munsch! I love how she gets a bunch of smelly, never come of until your dead and maybe even later coloring markers! I always wanted some.”
From Mrs. Dietrich:
“Loved when my mom and dad read "Are You My Mother?" to me. I actually think I still have the book on the shelves in the basement!”
From Mrs. McAllister:
“I can still remember in my sixth grade classroom that my teacher challenged our whole class to read, read, read! Mrs. Moore did this by having us earn a circle for a caterpillar that traveled around the top of our classroom walls for every book we read. I earned A LOT of circles to add to the caterpillar. Every time we got the caterpillar from one wall to the next, we got to watch a movie. Finally by the end of the year, our caterpillar had traveled around all four walls of our classroom. We read a lot that year!”
From Mrs. Bradford:
“I loved the author Ruth Chew. I have a few of my books still from elementary school. I also wrote to her as a third grader and she wrote back! I still have the letter (somewhere!).”
From Mrs. Wendricks:
“I had so many books that were my favorites when I was little, but the one that I remember reading the most was Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. My mom read it so many times to me that I had it memorized. Then once I had it memorized, I read it to myself so often that the pages started to fall out. My mom had to buy me a new copy! It is still one of my favorite books!”
