My favorite was "Little Red Riding Hood". When we moved to NH almost 30 years ago I was thrilled to find out that the restaurant "Pickety Place" in Mason, NH was the home of the illustrator Elizabeth Orton Jones. I took my daughter here when she was about six, and we saw the "wolf" sleeping in the bed, and they delivered her lunch in a basket covered with a red checkered napkin. I don't know who had more fun, my daughter or me?!Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29307953.post-4225594742870204502009-12-20T17:47:59.369-05:002009-12-20T17:47:59.369-05:00What an adorable book.

For example, there are many different editions of the Chronicles of Narnia. However, my favorite ones were the volumes to be found at the Bridgewater Public Library.<br /><br />My mother-in-law happened to have those volumes in a boxed set, so now they are my son's. <br /><br />My current plan is to get Roald Dahl's "Fantastic Mr. Fox" for my son, but it MUST be the one with the Donald Chaffin illustrations. They are far more beautiful than any other illustrator's work on the book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
