My son loved #1. I do not even know how many times I have read it to him.
I cannot read, “I’ll Love You, Forever” without crying!

Thursday Thirteen has come to an end.
I have enjoyed my visits here and consider us friends.
Thank you for sharing your thirteens with me.
The comments you left me filled me with glee.
It is hard to believe it is really true.
I am trying very hard to not be blue.
Happy TT’ing!

Thanks for the good reads!
Thanks for sharing these. I have long been without a toddler till recently I had 2 grandsons. This will be a great help to me.
Oooh, love a lot of them! I have the copy of Are you My Mother that was mine when I was a kid, even! (that and The Best Nest, another favorite around here)
A snort? A snort is my mother?
LOVE IT!!
Happy TT! I hope you’ll keep visiting West of Mars. You’re welcome there, you know.
I don’t have a toddler yet… perhaps I will keep this in mind for friends’ babies
I haven’t visited in a while. Looks like you have a lovely site and business going!
When Bry-onicle was a toddler, he loved Are You My Mother. I had to read it to him at least twelve times per day!
My favorite children’s book is Mike Mulligan and his amazing steam shovel…I’m not even sure it’s published anymore. But it was the first book I remember reading.
My 13 are up.
What a great idea for a TT. I have grown-up books on my posting this week. My mother passed away from dementia and congestive heart failure at the end of November – so the Robert Munsch book “I’ll love you forever” now, more than ever, has special meaning for me.
Great list… There are several we need to check out! Thanks for sharing.
Happy final TT!!
