WOW! Your blog candy impresses me just as much as your creativity :-) As for books, I love anything Dr. Seuss (we have 10 out from the library right now), and of course Silverstein's books like The Giving Tree and one I had never heard of before until about three months ago is called When You're Not Looking by Lynne Chapman (the kids love this, and I love to hear their giggles!)

Wow! My one year old daughter's favorites are Clap your Hands and Brown Bear, Brown Bear. I love children's books and I personally have MANY favorites!
Thanks for sharing such great goodies! I love your blog and have you in my Reader.
My fave children's book is Make Way For Ducklings, followed closely by Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. I have recently introduced DS to these and love to share them :)
My favorite book to read was the story of The Widemouth Frog. It is a hoot. Mom used to tell it to me all the time and then I actually found it in a popout book. All time favorite!
jenn
My favorite book to read to my kids is Green eggs and ham. I think I have it memorized! Thanks for the opportunity to win such greats stuff.
Happy Birthday!
Hi Sarah...we have so many book faves in our house! Some of those that I have especially sought out include: Blankie and Binkie by Leslie Patricelli, Slinky Malinki by Lynley Dodd and the "Duck" books by by Jez Alborough. Cheers!
I don't have any kids, but I remember my favourite book as a child was "There are Rocks in my Socks Said the Ox to the Fox." So fun! Lots of rhymes and great photos.
Thanks for the chance at this fab candy!!
Well I don't have kids but I love to read to my niece and nephew, they love Dr. Seuss books. Also Robert Carl books. Really enjoy your blog and your work is amazing. Thanks for the chance at some great candy. :)
Well, I don't have kids but when I was little I loved "Papelucho" a series of chilean children books. I think they're meant for small children to read in their first years of school. They're really fun :)

Our favorite story is "Llama Llama Red Pajama" because there is a line where baby llama yells for his momma and momma runs in saying "please stop all this llama drama and be patient.." My daughter thought this was hilarious the first time we read it together and every time since. Otherwise, we like the "If you give a Mouse/Pig/Moose a Cookie/Pancake/Muffin books. Love your take on the Seuss fish!!!
My favorite kids books are by Mo Willems: Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! is my favorite of them all. Just the illustration of the pigeon cracks me up.
Oh, we just read "One Fish, Two Fish..." last night, in honor of Dr. Suess of course! I love love the book "Goodnight Moon" and so does my 3yo. My 7yo loves the Magic Treehouse series of books! Thanks for the chance at great blog candy and Happy Stinkin' Birthday!!!
"Love you Forever" by Robert Munch is my favorite children's book. I like it and think it's a timeless classic that I'll still love even when I'm old and grey haired.
Happy B-day! Hope you have a great birthday. My favorite children's book is "Harry The Dirty Dog."
I really don't have a favorite although we read the Foot Book sporadically. I really like to mix it up since my 4 y/o DS likes to read the same book over and over and. . . . ;D
Thanks for the opportunity for some awesome blog candy! I really come here to see your great designs, but hey if I win I'll accept it!
Congratulations on your blog anniversary and a very Happy Birthday. My favorite children's book was Green Eggs and Ham. I would check it out every time I went to the library. Then, made sure my son had his own copy when he was young. My first novel was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I still love that book.
I also love your blog, you are so creative, thanks for taking the time to post.
CindyLouWho2
Happy Blogiversary and Birthday too!
My favorite childrens book is Love you Forever. Makes me tear up everytime. Back in the day when I was a kid........I loved the Little House on the Prarie books.
Great idea of using a book for inspiration and love your card!!
My favorite childrens book is The Dot by Peter Reynolds. It would be so easy to use that as card inspiration, to easy. It is a great story about a little girl and what she sees as just a dot is a great art show in the making! Wonderful message in there.
WOW! What a fabulous blog candy offering! It's hard to choose just one children's book but I really loved "Harriet the Spy" when I was a kid. I still have my copy and I gave it to my 9 yr old daughter to read. I can't wait to hear if she liked it as much as I did!
Presently, I like to read "Tree in the Trail" by Holling C. Holling to my 6 year old dd!
-Nancy Ann
First of all, Happy Birthday! Thanks for the opportunity at a great prize. I always liked Where the Wild Things Are. I was a nanny to two little girls a few years back and they loved the Junie B Jones books.
Stephanie T.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I don't know if I have a favorite book, but one that I really enjoy reading to my daughter right now is Fancy Nancy! We just laugh when we read it. Maybe because we know someone by the name of Nancy. I'll be adding a "fancy" card to my blog within the next few days!
This was one of my favorites to read as a kid...I haven't thought about it in years! Now my favorite kids book is Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. I kept all of my daughter's Silverstein books when she got older...they are treasures to me.
oohhh I could use the piercing mat thing right now!!! LOL.
My fav book would have to be green eggs and ham!!!!
Thanks for the chance to win... especially something I REALLY "NEED"!!!
I never really read any kids books when I was young. We didnt have the money to buy them or have a library close by. I got to read whatever the school had (a tiny Catholic school with 19 kids). So I will tell you a couple of my kids favs. My son loved the Spooky Old Tree from Berenstain Bears and my daughter loved There was an old woman who swallowed a fly (it was based on a Russian fairy tale and had beautiful art)
Well my "kids" are now 32, 35, and 37 and their favorite and mine was Goodnight Moon. Hey did everyone know today is Dr. Seuss's birthday. He would be 104 or something. Happy BDay!
Mary P.
Hello there. Hope you're having a happy birthday! One of my favorite books of all time to read out loud to my children is Skippyjon Jones by Judy Schachner. It is so cute and the kids love to hear it. Hmmmm, I'll have to think on a card with this in mind. Take care and thanks for the offerings.
Misty
Happy Birthday!!!
I had to smile when I saw your book because that was my favorite childhood book. I was just tearing up the attic today trying to find it for DS for a Seuss birthday celebration at school. One of my favorite books that I've read to my boys is Dinosaur Roar.
Right now, we are reading The Dangerous Book for Boys, but I use to read Dr. Suess books to my son when he was littler. My MIL gave me a bunch of them that she used to read to her boys!!
Thanks for sharing your talent & the generous blog candy!!
This is an easy one! "How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight" -- I know it by heart because I read it to my son so many times when he was small. He is nine now but I still try to get him to read it to me! ;) Love your blog -- great for inspiration.
I LOVE to read all the disney stories to my daughters. A friend of mine bought me a giant "master" bokkk with all the old favorites in them. Lst night was all about Dumbo. SO we read the entire story before bed and move on to the next story the next night.
I love your cards ! it so cute!!!!
I always read to my kids fairy book. they love it ..
great giveaways and thank for the chance!

my "little ones" are 13 and 10, so years have passed since we had snuggle time with a good book. my earlier favorites were anything Dr. Seuss, and Goodnight Moon.In kindergarten my daughter began reading the Junie B. Jones series and i just fell in love with that sassy, spunky little girl. when my son was in 2nd grade we discovered the Harry Potter series and I was hooked just as much as he was. he grew up right along with harry Potter. good memories........
Congrats! What an awesome way to celebrate! My Favorite book now and when I was little is Put Me In A zoo (remember that polka dotted animal that could change colors???). here's my card too! (love polka dots these days!)

I don't have kids myself, but I am the self proclaimed World's Greatest Aunt to my sister's six kids. For the boys, I love to read them Eric Carle's Brown Bear, Brown Bear. It's fun to make the animal sounds with them. There is a zookeeper book that I can't come up with the name that we love, too. For my niece, I LOVE David Kirk's Miss Spider books. The bright colors and illustrations are amazing. GREAT blog candy!

I don't have a child to read to, but I love the Cat in the Hat books.
LOL this is a funny question if you check my profile my children's books are my fav. books! lol...
HMMM I have a few.. Green Eggs and Ham,Goodnight Moon,but one the one that is very special to me is I'll Love you Forever I'll Love you For Always. :)
-Ellie
e@scrapbookmama.com
Love You Forever is my favorite--but I think that is because of my age! I am a grandmother raising a 15-year-old grandchild, so this book has special meaning to me. I hope we wait a while before our roles reverse!
Sandye
Both my boys are grown-up and they loved Dr. Seus.... but I would say Dr. Seus's Green Eggs and Ham is one of my favs. Thanks for the chance!! :o)

WOW!! That's a whole lotta loot!! My favorite books to read to Ellie are in a tie- Goodnight Moon and Brown Bear Brown Bear.

When my girls were little I would read them a lot of german books - to make sure they would be bilangual, but then I started reading english books and as they grew older they/I really loved "The English Roses" by Madonna. It taught them/me a lot about building friendship and not to exclude anybody....hope you get a change to read it to your daughter one day!?!

Happy Birthday! Thanks for sharing the great blog candy.
I love the Olivia books by Ian Falconer -- a truly spunky pig!!!
I picked up a copy of The Polar Express and gave it to my boys the Christmas it was released along with a small box that contained a nice quality bell. To see their faces when I first read the book was precious! They're both grown now and are 19 and 21!

Happy B-day Sarah,
Your cards are very inspiring and I love your Dr. Suess inspired card. My fav book would have to be Curious George. I was a very curious child so I could relate!
Thanks!
Sara
Wow--what a clever idea. My favorite children's book to read was Maurice Sendek's Where the Wild Things Are. But I have never thought to use it as a source of inspiration. Thanks for the great blog candy offer. Darlene
My son is now 21 but I have saved a lot of his books so he can read them to his kids one day. He liked the "if you give a mouse a cookie" series books, I can't remember the author and I still see the books for sale.
Alright sarah I said I wasn't going to comment but I have too. :) My fave book is Wilfred Gordon Mcdonald Partridge I think that it should be in every childs book collection. It is by far the best, and at X-mas time Polar Express it was one of my faves way before the movie came out. Love you and happy happy birthday I love you sissy. hugs and kisses.
Both of our sons loved the books, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and Froggy series. They giggled their heads off when I read all the silly things that Froggy did.
Happy Birthday and Blog anniversary!

"Go Dog, Go"...I love the page with the dogs partying in the tree. There is so much going on that page, when I was little I would just sit with that page open and point out everything that was happening.

Love your fish card what a great idea to theme them after a book!
I don't have kids but my favorite book was always, "where the wild things are". It's what I buy all the little kids in the family, great book!
Oh favorite kids book- my kids are older now but it is Love you Forever. It is such a sweet book about a mother's love for her son and then his return of love as an adult. I used to read it to my boys all the time, and then I would sing it to them too.

My favorite children's book is Dr. Seuss's 'Horton Hears a Who' because it not only shows the value of a life, but also teaches an important lesson about 'keeping ones word'
The book I always loved to have read to me when I was a child and one I like to read to my grandchildren now is "Mother Goose." I have a large book of "Mother Goose" nursery rhymes. I think I had almost all of them memorized when I was little. :)

Wonderful blog, Happy Birthday!
My favorite kids book has to be a book called "The Goodnight Book", I have great memories of reading it to our daughter every night.
Claudia
scfranson@charter.net
WOW! How exciting! Happy Birthday to you and your blog! THANK YOU for all of your inspiration! You are asking alot of a book-addict, to list their favorite children's book. I love Chicka-Chicka boom Boom, anything Max Lucado writes for children teaches a value, and Amelia Badelia makes us laugh. My children are 10 and 12 now, and enjoy A series of Unfortunate Events and The Left Behind Series. I now reap the rewards of listening to my children read to me.
Happy Birthday and happy blogiversary also. My favorite childrens books are any books from the little golden book series. I have been trying to collect them for quite awhile now. My favorite is "The Little Red Hen".
-*Linda*-
Adorable card...perfect for kids! My favorite kids book is "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein. It's an awesome book about unconditional love. Even at 7 yrs my youngest loves to be read this book.
Congrats on 1 yr! Awesome blog...every day I visit is eye candy!
I'm now a granny of 5 wonderful grandchildren, 4 of which are teen-agers, BUT, when my kids were young my favorite book was "The Little Engine That Could". The book is used to teach children the value of optimism. In the tale, a long train must be pulled over a high mountain. Various larger engines are asked to pull the train; for various reasons they refuse. The request is sent to a small engine, who agrees to try. The engine succeeds in pulling the train over the mountain while repeating its motto: "I think I can, I think I can".
Thank you for allowing me memories of when my children were young. I don't have a train set of stamps, but I will say that, every time I sit down to create a card, I have to tell myself 'I think I can'.....and I usually do, although they aren't always winners, I'm proud of every one of them!
Thanks!
Wow, my kids are 20 and 21 so I have not read a childrens book forever.......the book I remember reading the most to them was The Wizard of Oz. Read it so much I finally bought the movie. My kids watched it 11 times within a very short time span. The movie became one of my favorites. hehe still have it!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!
I LOVED Dr Suess Green Eggs and Ham. And the Engine that could. Am I dating myself?
My children are grown so, I don't have the pleasure of reading new childrens books.
Susan C
Are You My Mother and Never Talk to Strangers - both very cute books!
Swedie
Dr. Seuss - Sam I Am! My daughter buys my husband a Dr. Seuss book every year for Christmas. And no we don't have little kids anymore or any grandkids yet. Maybe she's just getting his collection started for when we finally do have grandkids! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
http://www.wowprincess.com/anita/
WOW.... cute Red Fish. Blue Fish... card. I shall have to think if I can make a card inspired by it, but my favorite children's book ( and I cry every time I read it!) is "I Love You Forever". GREAT book!
AWESOME candy!
I agree with you I love Dr. Seuss. Green Eggs and Ham has always been my favorite to read to my kids. On St. Partick's Day we have green eggs and ham. Just a little green food coloring in the scrambled eggs. Thank you for the chance to win. I love visiting your blog every chance I get. Mari
I have a 4 month old son, and my Husband and I enjoy reading him "Good Night Moon".
Happy Birthday to you and your blog!!
Someone just said my favorite "The Little Engine That Could" but for a child around 2nd - 3rd grade my mom would read to us at night and I loved the book "Mr. Popper's Penguins" by Richard Atwater. This is a good age for The Boxcar Children books too.
Sandy
One of my daughter's favorite books is "The Legend of the Three Trees" - from the screenplay by george Taweel and Rob Loose. This particular book has text and illustrations from Tommy Nelson with story adapted by Catherine McCafferty, about three trees and what they dreamed about becoming - and what they did become. It's a great story and she picks it quite often for our bedtime story.
Awesome candy! Well, there are various favorites in my house, but right now it's Green Eggs and Ham. I know, original, but it's one that all three of them love! Love your cards!
WOW! What a great blog candy ... yummy!! Thanks for the chance to win.
I don't have kids yet, but my favorite children books are Shel Silverstein's books, especially The Giving Tree and A Light in the Attic. I haven't used any of these books as inspirations for card making, but sounds like a good idea, I've to give it a try.
Happy Birthday and Happy Blogday! Thanks for the opportunity to win bog candy. My babies are 16 and 18 years old. I used to read Goodnight Moon to my son and The Runaway Bunny to my daughter. I still have the books. I pull them our every now and then to read to them. Ha! Ha! They think it's funny. Love your blog. Your projects are awesome!
Mary H.
There are so many great books, but probably my favorite is The Legend of the Three Trees by Angela Elwell Hunt
I love looking at your blog!
Happy Birthday! Love "Time for Bed" and "The Runaway Bunny". The first time I read Runaway Bunny it brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for the chance to win.
Toni
Happy Birthday!! That candy looks AWESOME!!!! My FAVORITE kids book is I Love you forever.
thanks for the chance!
Melissa Boston
My mouth is watering looking at all that blog candy! My favorite kids book right now is "You read to me, I'll read to you". My oldest is 4.5 right now and is already reading quite well. The parent reads what's on the left side and the child reads what's on the right. There are parts where you both read together. My daughter really likes that part. I don't have a card inspired by the book, but yours is just gorgeous!
Congrats on your blogversary!
My boys love Goodnight moon when they were little. I could read it over an over again and they would listen to it like they were hearing it for the first time. awesome blog candy, sarah.

My favorite book to read to my daycare children is
The true story of the three little pigs By A. Wolf as told to Jon Scienszka, Illustrated by Lane Smith.
This book is so funny. The kids love it too. A different twist on an old classic. Jan Brett, Eric Carle,Tomy DePaola, Barbara Cooney are some of my other favorite authors too.
Happy Birthday!
I'm going to date myself. One of my favourite series growing up was the Bobbsey Twins.
Thanks for the chance to win the blog candy!

Wow, its your birthday and you are giving a lovely gift away on your blog. How nice is that! Anyways Happy Birthday to you and your blog!
There are so many lovely books to read to children these days, from classics like "The Velveteen Rabbit", to all the cute ones by Robert Munsch! When my boys were very small, they would love for me to read books by Richard Scary,(especially if it had pictures of diggers!), The Bearnstein Bears and the Winnie the Pooh Series!!
My favorite is "I Love You Forever". My Allie is almost 4. We've read it to her since she was in my tummy. My husband still cries every time he reads it to her. Too sweet!

I stumbled across your blogsite a few weeks ago and have been returning since! :) congrats on your blog!
Great blog candy.
First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :D
Oh my! I basically ONLY read children's books because I teach 2nd grade! Haha. I read one about every day! I love my job though. I don't think you could have asked a harder question. That's so tough. If I had to choose one favorite children's book I would have to say "A Bad Case of Stripes" by David Shannon. It is HILARIOUS and the pictures are just great. If you haven't read it...DO SO! My kids love it. I even had a girl memorize it! She loved it that much.
Anyway, thanks so much for sharing all of these great gifts on YOUR birthday! You are great! :D
I read about 45 minutes to my daughter every day. She loves to read and we have many favorites. I love the Little Red Hen from when I was a child. My daughter loves that one too! Thanks!

I use to love reading the "Harry the Dog" books to my kids:)
This is such an adorable card!
My favorite book to read my sons when they were little was "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom". They're teenagers now but I still have a brand new copy of each for them. When they have their first borns that will be my gift to my sons. I just hope their memories of those two books are as sweet as mine are.

Sarah~ I've been a frequent visitor to your blog since you were named featured stamper on SCS! You do beautiful work! My favorite children's book is "Giraffes Can't Dance" by Giles Andrede. It's all about just trying- and maybe you'll succeed! It's all in rhyming verse too, I think that's more fun to read. Thanks for the great opportunity to win this awesome blog candy and Happy Blogaversary!

My children's favorite books were the Little House on the Prairie series, the Boxcar Children, Dr. Suess' ABC Book and The Foot Book and many of our little Golden Books, probably "Home for a Bunny" best of all!
What a lovely blog prize - and what a lovely blog! God bless!
Childrens books are very different in each country, so you probably don't know 'Plons, the crazy frog', but they are popular in Belgium (or at least when I was young)
I have started reading chapter books to my 5 year old daughter and we are reading Charlotte's Web, but I can't wait for Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys when my sons get older! lisa k awesome blog goodies...love your creations!!
What spectacular blog candy!! Thanks for the opportunity to win it :) My son is 1 1/2 years old, and his favorite books are by Sandra Boynton. He likes The Belly Button Book and Moo Baa La La La the best. He also enjoys anything with Sesame Street characters, as he is going through a phase of being obsessed with Elmo.
Wow, what a great celebration! Happy Birthday!
My DD is now 17 but my favorite story to read to her when she was young was Moo, Baa, La, La, La by Sandra Boynton. I can still recite it from memory!
Well I don't have any children but I do like the book Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney. I like to buy it for new moms and that started when my own neices and nephews were being born.
That has to be the most generous blog candy I have ever seen! Yay!! Happy Belated Birthday!!!
Charlottes Web!! read it when I was in 3rd grade and has been a favorite ever since (I am 50 now!) thanks for chance to win great blog candy...have a great day!
My boys LOVE "CHicka Chicka Boom Boom" and "Chicka Chicka 1-2-3". I had never really thought about making that idea into a card though...great idea!!!
My kids are grown now but we loved Dr Seuss especially Green Eggs and Ham. I loved your card.

Wow This is exciting!! and I love to read and to my grandkids now. My favorite must be the Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams. Thank you, Kathy

Congrats! Love your blog! My favorite childhood book is Charlotte's Web. it is such an endearing story. I still have my orignal copy from when I was a child and have shared it with my own children.
Mr. Carrey's Garden by Jane Cutler, illustrated by G. Brian Karras
This book is so good, the characters, the story and the illustrations! I loved both the author, and the illustrator so much I found everything else they had done and enjoyed them as well! I hope you find this and read it to your kids!
I have not done a card based on the book but you have me thinking!
Thanks for the goodies and inspiration!

My kids are older but my grandkids love me to read them any of the Mercer Mayer's little critter books.. They make me use their names or siblings names. They deal with lessons and everyday stuff. I love them too.
Believe it ot not it is "why we poop" they think the word poop is just funny. It is a great book though!
Hi Sarah,
Happy Birthday and congrats on your blog! Awesome cards :-) What an inspiration you are. My son's favorite books were the Berenstain Bears. We had the entire set and he loved me to read to him. Now he has kids of his own and can read to them! Thanks at the chance of your great looking blog candy!

Ok, I love Where the Wild Things Are... but I have no monster stamps. Also love Guess How Much I Love You... but again, no bunny stamps either. Sigh. Guess it's time to go shopping! ;-)
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Sarah, Happy Birthday to you. You don't know how lucky you are that you didn't here that in person. As so many of you readers, I too loved "love you forever", but as my oldest started to read, we discovered the Magic Tree house Series. I credit this series in creating two book-o-holics, for it was easy to trick them to continue reading to find out what was going to happen next.

Hey Happy Birthday!!! Our favorite right now is Veggie Tales Bible Storybook, Thanks Kathy H...
I like to read Bible stories from a children's Bible to my kids.
Happy belated birthday! My son's favorite book was Put me in the Zoo by Robert Lopshire. (there's a sequel to that I believe.) Love the Lorax by Dr. Seuss and books by David Shannon (No, David)also Laura Numeroff and Marie Louise Gay (Stella & her little brother Sam series.) Milo and the Magical Stones by Marcus Pfister (Rainbow Fish author)has both a happy and a sad ending - you get to chose! I volunteer at my kids' school library and so fun to see all the new children's books coming out. Diary of a Worm (and also Spider and Fly) by Doreen Cronin is lots of fun. Have fun and keep reading with your kids!
Sandra
One of our favorite books to read to our kids is The giving Tree. My in laws gave that book to us and it soone became a tradition for all my brothers and sisters. And the good part is that my kids love it. The really do understand the meaning of the story. If you haven't read this with your kids I highly reccomend it.
My very favorite book as a child was Mr. Popper's Penquins. I can read it over and over and over again.
Happy Birthday to you and your blog!
