I've come to realize that not everyone is up on the latest children's books, or even the classics for that matter. It seems to be an unusual interest that I have, or so I am noticing. As a kid of the 70's - being left home alone, coming home to an empty house, or just being told to actually go outside and play on a regular basis wasn't looked down upon or reason to call the DCFS - I spent a lot of time reading...the library next door was my home away from home. In the years to come, I ended up working with children a lot and shared my geeky book-love with the little ones around me. Children's books are one of the major reasons why art, books, and kids play such a significant role in my life today. Anyway, there must be someone out there who relates, and so here they are. Some old, some new.
These are just a few, and let's not forget:
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by, Washington Irving
and
The Raven by, Edgar Allan Poe
