Favorite Children's Book(s)

 I have always loved this book. I love reading it to the children in my class, and I have also already purchased a copy to be the first book read to my first child....don't worry, it's still not anytime soon. It's one of the books you can enjoy as an adult. You are never too old to think about how much you love someone. The story touches my heart. Just to imagine a young child, whether one day my own child or for now someone else's child, saying to me, "Guess how much I love you," and then that child thinks of all these ways to measure how much...it just warms my heart. Children are so insightful. They can be so creative to say the hardest of things to say. As adults, we lose sight of saying "I love you" enough. We need children in our lives to remind us to say those simple things that mean everything.

I could not pick just one favorite children's book, but this one is in its own category to me. Dr. Seuss is quite the children's author, however, it goes deeper than that. My mother gave me this book as a high school graduation gift. She signs it how proud she is of me to have accomplished so much thus far, and that there are no limits to the places I can go. I want to read this book to my own children every night so they always know they are capable of achieving anything they want in life.
