My daughter is a huge Bink and Gollie fan...and my husband is in love with Gollie's modern tree house abode.
M, I need to figure out how to create a spreadsheet for my purse of all of your book suggestions! As the result of my post-Christmas purge, I've been bringing bags of items to donate to the local thrift stores and browsing the children's bookshelves while I'm there. I suspect I'm passing by no shortage of good books (that I just don't recognize) amid the junk. But my greatest find (that this post reminded me of) was a MINT condition Tomie dePaola's Book of Bible Stories for $0.35! It made my day :)
