It is time for the first challenge in the Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-A-Thon. Elizabeth has asked read-a-thon participants to share their favourite childhood book(s).

My all time favourite book which I still will read, quote from, and read to all three of my boys (I still own my original 1960s era version) is A.A. Milne’s classic Winnie-the Pooh. As a child I loved the adventures of Christopher Robin and the occupants of the 100-acre wood. As an adult I see all of the wisdom and life lessons A.A. Milne passed on to countless children throughout the ages.  My deepest gratitude to A.A. Milne for his stories have taught me so very much and continue to this day.
