Louise,
How neat to have your favorites all together on the shelf! I have mine just all over. But have tried to keep the real favorites upstairs in the bookcase next to my bed.
Love learning about children’s books – since at the time I only read things that had horses in them. There are so many clever ones -I often think it would have been neat to be a children’s book illustrator!
