    When this thread started my great hope was that Donald Trump's actual job as president would be to read these children's books to groups of toddlers in the Rose Garden while other people ran the country. I've been bitterly disappointed.

    I want Donald Trump kept as far away from the youth of America as possible.

    Back to more important stuff.

    Here's one for your daughter, YF. It may keep her up at night, though.

    Clicking on this thread right now is like walking into a tough bar and expecting to see a pool cue broken over somebody's head, and instead everybody's drinking tea with lemon and listening to some guy play lullabies on the harp.

    Oh, at the time I assumed he would be sitting on a giant golden throne a good five feet above the children.

    For the very littles, we loved "Pat the Bunny". "Goodnight Moon" is a perennial. "The Giving Tree". "The Little Prince".

    Once he was older we had a great time with the Richard Scarry books. There are a *lot* of those. The "Lowly Worm" books were a particular favorite. Good illustrations as well as writing.

    Scarry came and did a lecture at our local public library, which had a good sized meeting room. It was completely packed with parents and their kids, probably close to two hundred people or so. When a boy, maybe ten years old asked him how he came to write children's books, he said "It was because when I was first learning to read, they gave us the very worst books. Here, I'll show you what we got stuck with when we were starting to read." He kinda ran his eyes across the room and then said "See Dick". The audience, as one, responded by chanting "See Dick Run. Run, Dick, Run!" Then the entire room cracked up and the kids were left looking at us like we'd lost our collective minds.

    This was maybe 1990 or so, so we were all Boomers. YMMV.

    Man, this is taking me back. I'm feeling feelings. Y'all are gonna make me go and put a baby in my wife.

    (And I LOVED Lowly the Worm when I was a kid. Had a stuffed one I used to take everywhere.)

    I hope we can all agree. Clifford the Big Red Dog rules. My favorite as a kid. Close second? Curious George. Such a naughty little monkey.
