It. Stand back, said the elephant. I'm going to sneeze. We had this book in our playroom when I was young, younger than five, and what I remember about it was the pictures, because the elephant does sneeze and terrible, terrible things happen. And I was a bit confused and intrigued and horrified by the pictures. And so I don't remember my mother or my dad reading to me a lot or anybody, really, in my family reading to me a lot

This book was my saving. He loved this book and he loved the video. And there were a couple of times he had RSV as a baby, and we watched this half hour video, 45 minutes video over and over and over again, and a couple of others all night long. It was the only thing that would come for him. My other kids loved the book, too, but this one spoke mostly to him. I have a passion for children's books
Hey so love your passion with this. I am excited particularly just to hear all these books that you're referencing because. Or to check them out because I have a new son. And yeah, I'm just realizing from listening to all these responses that how valuable and powerful it is for a parent to read to their kids. So thanks for reassuring and reaffirming that message. I look forward to hearing some more book books recommendations from you in part two

Oh, my God. You totally unearthed a childhood memory for me with the three robbers. I loved that book. I was obsessed with the illustrations. Like, I feel like there's been so influential in my work in a way that I have been carrying out subconsciously. Wow. This is so great. I loved, loved, loved that book. Um, really fantastic. And I loved hearing these stories about you and your kids reading together. That's. That's so lovely

Good morning, this is Stephen and thank you very much for sharing this one with me. I have a great nostalgia for libraries. Your post was a lovely trip down memory lane. I going to the library with my mother was one of the great memories that I have in my life. So I appreciate you sharing this with me. It was a pleasure to listen to it. Bye
