Which Would You Choose?

On Facebook my town library asked, if you had to be trapped in a children's book for a month, which one would you choose? I would choose:



If you're not familiar with the story, armed with his purple crayon, Harold is a little boy who draws his way in and out of trouble while trying to find his way home.

  1. I would choose the Chronicles of Narnia, I so want to go through that wardrobe and land somewhere else! Valerie

    1. I didn't know that series until the Young One was in elementary school. We both didn't care for it preferring Lord of the Rings

  2. I am not familiar with this one-sounds too fun. sadly I don't really remember a children's book-and my Mom always took us three kids to the library every two weeks to load up on new books.

  3. What an adorable choice. I don't even remember any books from my childhood, although I would receive an award every summer because I read at least 100 books (and answered written questions to prove I'd read the book when I turned it back in). The library was always my friend back then.

    1. It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.

      Pablo Picasso

  7. I love the Harold and the Purple Crayon books! My kids enjoyed them when they were little, though I wasn't familiar with them 'til then.

    I pick The Wind in the Willows.
