Little house book series. Great story.
GREAT list, Tilly!
Why am I not surprised that you're a fan of the pigeon?? We love that dude around here!
Interesting book list!
I hope you have a fabulous birthday and get all the books you want. :D
Happy TT!
Oh another book junkie! Unfortunately, thanks to life happenings, my small collection got smaller when all my books got left behind in another state due to emergency. However, I am slowly building back up. Charlotte's web, oh my heavens, is a wonderful one indeed! Another favorite that I must re-acquire is "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London.
Happy T-13!
great book list!!! Happy TT!
I must say, the only one I have read is Charolettes Webb...but who hasnt;) Happy Birthday!! Great list...
Little House, and Charlottes Web...great books for kiddos!
A great list--I read "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" to my grandchildren. I loved it.
Happy birthday, and may you get all the books you want.
Great list - pretty broad reading spectrum you covered!
Happy (early?) Birthday! My birthday is this Saturday and I love to get books too! This time I'm saving to get my favourite planner-binder for 2008.
Thanks for visiting my Robbie TT!
You can't go wrong w/Little Housein the Big Woods-- I have way too many children's books and have been trying to cull down to a more managable amount I love Classics Newberry's(SP?) and Caldecott's
Those are some great looking books, at least based on their cover art.
I have to admit I don't know the pigeon, but I'm intrigued.
you had me at One. the Pidgeon book cracked me up - hadn't seen that one yet.
That Greeks out of the Black Sea just made my need ot read list!
Thanks!
#1, #5, #6 look very interesting. I wouldn't mind if someone give me any of these for my B-Day :)
Thanks for visiting me :)
Cheers!
Oooh, there's a new Ologies book out? I love those books.
A recommendation for the Young Lady: Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos by R. L. LaFevers. A girl who lives in a museum--lots of fun stuff about Egyptian curses, a cat, street urchins...
a fine bunch of books, though I have not heard of most of them and dont see myself picking up the costume jewelery one. However, you can get the mythology one for me next month ;)
Ooh I love your book list! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY Tilly!! =) A wonderful month to have a b-day. Congrats.
I'm with Rhi, you had me at one. 5,6,and 7 also look very interesting. Have you read any of the books about Tacky the Penguin? Very fun (Tacky walks around in a wrinkled Hawaiian print shirt). Cornelia Funke's children's books are also very fun (She writes for younger and older children). Have a happy birthday! :)
#1 ans #11 look very good, but #13 is one of my all time favorates.
Happy TT and have fun on your birthday.

Ooh, I'll take #1, 5 and 6 please! :-)
A very happy birthday to you, Tilly! I think books make the best presents and they always take up the most space on my Christmas list.
Now if I could only wish for more time to read them all!
Now I've got to go find a copy of 600 Black Spots.
Great list. :)

Oh, it's my birthday this month too! Do I get books? There's so many I would chose in this list :D
Ack! My dial up couldn't handle your page - but at least I was able to hit the comment button before it went "oops!"
Happy TT13 :P
