Weekend Assignment: Favorite Children's Books

So I got this phone call from Blogger John Scalzi just now. And you know, it was the first time I'd ever heard his voice. For those of you who are wondering, it's high and sweet, like if harp music could be squeezed out of a bottle and onto your pancakes.

Where was I? Oh. So Scalzi's DSL connection is hosed at the moment, to be restored in a few hours' time. The problem with all that is that he can't very well write this week's Weekend Assignment in his blog without an Internet connection. He did leave a phone entry for everyone, but it's not the same as proper pixels, so he called me up to ask me to deliver the message.

Since we're all here to write, it stands to reason that we love to read, too. And back before the Web, there were books. For this week's Weekend Assignment, John Scalzi wants to know: What were your favorite children's books? Tell us in your blog, and either link to the post in my comments section or over in John's audio entry. And have a great weekend!
