Sophie brought Alice in Wonderland of course, but she was also decided to bring Sagwa, The chinese Siamese Cat by Amy Tan. We got this book a few weeks ago when we were studying China. Sophie has read through this book several times since. The artwork is very beautiful.
I had Henry bring Stop That Ball by Mike McClintock, which is one that have read so many times. We started getting it from the library when Sophie was little and each of the kids has just loved it.For Ian I brought The Construction Alphabet Book by Jerry Pallotta. We have checked this out out of the library many many times. Ian loves diggers and big trucks so this one has been a favorite. We have also checked out many of Pallotta's other alphabet books. They are all very well done.
I also brought Fred and Ted go Camping by Peter Eastmen. Ian always seems to find the Fred and Ted books at the library so we take them home a lot as well.
Books that I brought to share were:Crinkleroot's guide to knowing the birds by Jim Arnosky.
An Egg is Quiet by Dianna Aston
Our Picture Atlas of the World illustrated by Brian Delf (We use this book all the time)
Nate the Great and the Crunchy Christmas by Marjorie Sharmat (We love Nate the Great!)
Sir Cumference and the Isle of Immeter by Cindy Neuschwander
I can't say these are my absolute favorite Children's books but they were good books that we found recently or that we have used a lot.
I can't wait to get the list of books that the host always collects and sends out. Some of the books that others brought sound so good!

What a great way to do book club. We had a children's book club going for awhile but it soon died. We would pick an author and then find as many books as we could by the author. Then the kids would each pick their favorite to talk about. We usually followed it with a snack that somehow had to do with one of the books that were read. I was always surprised by the treasures we would find.
