Today's book is 'Sleepytime Stories', illustrated by J.P. Miller. I always feel sorry for King Midas when I read about The Golden Touch, don't you? The Husband Who Tried to Keep House makes me laugh - I guess that husband will appreciate his wife more next time! What kinds of stories have you been reading to your kids at night lately? My daughter and I have started reading Babe: The Gallant Pig by Dick King-Smith (love that movie!!) and we're going to start on the next Pippi Longstocking book - Pippi Goes on Board.Linking to Cozy Book Hop
Awww, I love Babe! I read it to Big Sis when she was very little - she doesn't remember it now. In fact, I doubt either girl remembers the movies.
ReplyDeleteLove JP Miller!
Yeah it's been quite a while since we watched the movies too.
DeleteI did not know the movie Babe was inspired from a novel! My mom and I loooooved it to bits! Gotta try to find it now!
ReplyDeleteRemember the little mice in the movie? Sooo cute! :)
DeleteJ. P. Miller is such a great illustrator. He had a light touch, but also sophisticated and self-assured. I enjoy the books you choose.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them, Lisa. I love the format of your blog as well!
DeleteMy little granddaughter loves Angelina Ballerina and In the night garden, so I read a few of those while I was on holiday in Australia. I miss her bedtime routine now that I’m back home in the UK.
ReplyDeleteThe sleepytime story book looks very pretty.
In the Night Garden is so cute!
DeleteAdorable! I love seeing the books you find! Thanks for linking up with Cozy Book Hop again.
