Today, because it’s Friday…and due to fact that Halloween was yesterday, I am thinking some of you may have blood-red face paint stuck in your bathroom sink, there might be a few burnt out jack o lanterns on your front porch, and you may or may not have consumed more chocolate than you had planned on. No? I guess it’s just me then. 🙂 In any event, the spooky holiday is over and I feel like talking about books rather than food. If you have a strange loathing for books, then come and see my bright and early Monday morning, and we will discuss food in the form of my November Menu Plan. Deal?
For as long as I can remember I have loved books. It’s a little something my mother passed on to me, a hobby we share together I suppose you could say. (You can follow me on GOODREADS by clicking HERE, if you so choose). Books for children are especially fun, and I have a great one to share with you today.
I’m The Scariest Thing In The Jungle, written and illustrated by David Derrick Jr. is a darling children’s book with captivating illustrations and a fun story.
Inside the front cover are sketches of all the different animals that are in the book. My kids had a great time searching for them throughout the story.
You can see MyLittleTwinBoyAaron here trying to copy the sketches. My kids love this book, as do I. I recommend it to any of you with children or grandchildren. It would make a great Chirstmas gift. 🙂 You can buy signed copies, with an original drawing, found HERE. Davids books are also available on Amazon and can be requested at most book stores.
The author, David Derrick Jr. has generously offered to send a signed copy of The Scariest Thing In The Jungle, a copy of his book Sid The Squid, a jungle T-shirt and a flashlight key chain to one of you lucky readers.

My favorite book as a child was “The Rainbow Fish” by Marcus Pfister
My favorite book would be “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” We LOVE books too. Every once in awhile, we will restrain ourselves and actually leave a few of the library’s books at the library for others to check out! Otherwise, it is so hard to not want to bring a truck load home!
One of our favorites is “A Bad Case of The Stripes” by David Shannon.
My favorite children’s book is “Love You Forever” written by Robert Munsch. I’ve been reading this book to my children for years and now our youngest, 18 months, enjoys settling in and listening to the heartwarming story…
My favorite kids book (currently) is “If you give a mouse a cookie.” And the Dr. Seuss books. And the Madeline series. Oh goodness – do I have to limit it to one?
Love books by Robert McCloskey like Homer Price and Lentil because of his illustration! I’m a volunteer in the library at my kids school and when I’m putting the books back on the shelves I can get totally side tracked by looking at the books 🙂
My favorite book as a child was The little engine that could. I can remember sitting and reading that book over and over as a child wishing for the train to “think it can, think it can” and get over the hill!
I Will Always Love Where The Wild Things Are. I Think I Will Go Read It Now!
I love you through and through is my very favorite for little ones
I love “The Runaway Bunny” — I have several that I love but I do think it’s my fav.
