When I think of childhood books I think further back to books were read to me. I vividly remember the images from the books as well as general story. Some that stick out to me are:
The Little Engine That Could
Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel
Little Toot
Harold and the Purple Crayon
De olijke tweeling, Floortje Bellefleur, De dolle tweeling (The twins at St.Clairs), De vijf (The famous five) en boeken van WG vd Hulst en Piet Prins. Ik las heel veel.
