Book Blogger Hop – March 16 – 22, 2018

About the Book Blogger Hop

The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer from Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the meme on February 15, 2013.

Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.

This week’s question:
Who is your favorite children’s books author and why? (submitted by Kitty @ Vicarious Bookworm)

 

This is a great question. I’m not going to say J.K. Rowling because even though the Harry Potter series is my favorite series, I don’t consider it a children’s book. When I think of children’s books, I think of Dr. Seuss. I love those books. I remember learning to read Hop on Pop, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, and Fox in Sox. I love hearing my kids learn to read with those same books, especially when my middle son did a particularly dramatic reading of Green Eggs and Ham. It was awesome.

I also loved as a kid The Monster at the End of This Book by Jon Stone and Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney. And I love reading the Fancy Nancy books by Jane O’Connor and Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin to my kids.

So, I guess I don’t have one favorite children’s book author, nor do I have one favorite children’s book. I didn’t even touch on older children’s books, middle grade books, or young YA books. We’ll save those for another day.
