It's very special to me because my dear (practical & non-reader) Mom gave away my children's books when I graduated from high school. However, I have a friend who sells used books & she has been hunting down some of my favorites...Little Golden Books & Wonder Books. I am having the most wonderful warm fuzzy feelings right now.
