Re: Cover to Cover, favorite childrens books - Christina

The topic of favorite childrens books sent me down memory lane. In elementary school I was in love with a book series called Billy and Blaze about the adventures of a young boy and his horse.  Think Lassie but instead of a collie, a horse.  As I think about it, this was probably the first chapter books I read and I couldn't wait for the next one in the series to become available.  As an adult, I don't really follow kids books but I did read and thoroughly enjoy the Harry Potter series and I am currently listening to the audio book, His Dark Materials, the second in the Golden Compass series.  Interesting, as I compare each of these, animals play a major theme in each book.
