Re: Favorite books You Have read

[Josephine Dervan <rderva@injersey.com>]

I had an interesting experience recently with a book that I had read as
a child. I was showing a Weston Woods video of The Donuts- a chapter
from Homer Price. I had loved this book as a child and used to read that
chapter to students when I was a new LMS. I was busily working at the
desk when the film began. I found myself mouthing all the words to the
story. I was somewhat surprized to hear the "rich lady". I used to do
her voice a la ZaZa Gabor. dahling.
Seriously among my childhood favorites: the Beatrix Potter books (my Mom
learned to read in school using those books and knew them by heart),
Andersen's Fairy Tales (purchased at the one and only book fair our
school ever had), Heidi, Appolonia's Valentine, Andy and the Lion (I
loved when he took the book back to the public Library), the Landmark
Books (also a History major), Lentil and many others too numerous to
name. When I introduce them as one of my favorites from childhood my
students seem especiallly interested.
