My favorite book was 'Don't Hurt Laurie' because my name was in the title....it was about a young girl getting abused by her mother....I read it approximately a million times....

Picture Book - Love you forever -- Robert Munch...I love this book. I give it to every friend I know having a baby. The message is one that is sweet and loving...it always brings a tear to my eye.

Chapter Book - Because of Winn Dixie -- My students love this story. It is a great read! The movie comes out in March, I believe!

The Giving Tree, it;s a great message for kids as well as adults.

Jaime Lee Curtis' books are great as well! We have one called 'I Like Me', I just read it to my daughters pre-k class an the kids loved it!!
