This was a favorite growing up and I got the actual book from my mom. It's pretty worn and even has a piece of duct tape holding on the cover. It's a childhood treasure I will never part with.

I need to replace our copy of this beloved childhood book. It was falling apart and had ugly, red tape all over it. It was out for repair and I never got it back. Heartbreaking to lose the original copy from our childhood. It was a book with sentimental value, many memories.

This is the book where I first discovered The Goops.

I love this book. I used to read it all the time when I was little. I still have the book and it's in not too bad a shape. Some wearing on the outside but no tape yet. The cover looks a little different then the cover in the picture on here. The title is in a yellow and blue box otherwise same picture. It's a great book.

This is a collection of poems, nursery rhymes and fairy tales. I remember having it when I was growing up and was able to find a copy at my favorite used bookstore.
This is a great collection, with nice illustrations. And it reminds me of being a kid again. Loved it.

I remember my mom buying this for me at Eaton's. 40+ years later it is still a loved volume that comes down from the bookshelf often.

I had the 1971 edition - my first ever book. What a treasure this is! Beautifully illustrated and inludes every classic story and thensome. Now I have a second '71 edition thanks to Amazon!
