Did you have a favorite bedtime story or book that you cherished as a child?

I remember my dad used to sing this song out of a nursery rhyme book for me at nights before i went to bed.

I just googled the words cuz i couldnt remember all of them and wouldnt you know they are online! Im so happy


Lavender's Blue

Lavender's blue,
Diddle diddle
Lavender's green,
When I am king,
Diddle diddle,
You shall be queen.

Call up your men,
Diddle diddle,
Set them to work,
Some to the plow,
Diddle diddle,
Some to the cart.

Some to make hay,
Diddle diddle,
Some to cut corn,
While you and I,
Diddle diddle,
Keep ourselves warm.

Lavender's green,
Diddle diddle,
Lavender's blue,
If you love me,
Diddle diddle,
I will love you.


I also liked Enid Blyton books. I kinda still do Aww man they sure inspired my imagination.

Kinda makes me miss being a kid.

cool... mine was and still is LOL The Cat in the Hat (books) How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Green Eggs and Ham Sam I Am or One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish

and of course the nursery rhymes and fairy tales like Cinderella and Snow White and 7 Dwarfs and Pinochio and good old Dumbo LOL Jungle Book! but my ultimate fav has to be Beauty and the Beast ...

Even when raising my kids it was like reliving it all again only in high definition LOL and now they have the one and only cutest Lil Nemo (can ya tell I love that one tooo) ...

but the old fashion books and now movies ...

have to be ones I mentioned that was very inspiring to me ...

Memooriesssss ...

Poeeeeeeee what I would have done knowing now all about the Lord to be in ur shoes too...
to have the bible and read it as a kid my first bible was when I was 22 ...

I was catholic growing up and had catichism but I was never shared the bible and never fully got the message ...

but I did get to raise my kids in the Lord and the best memories would have to be the kids iillustrated bible stories and even played by the veggie tales LOL and there very own first bibles were the precious moments new king james and then moved up to all the colorful illustrated bibles and then there very own KJV student bible (and of course Genuine leather and there name and fav christian symbol + or >))))> ) ... and highlighters to go with and there fancey carring case ... (with name and alright ill stop LOL) but have to admitt them cases were very cool whispers I even have one its bob the tomatoe and its red and alll fuzzy too LOL k moving on sorry but that was not end of recieving bibles...

they had youth leaders thru the years even give them bibles was truly a blessing...

I have to say bibles became the book in our house as im sure in many of you all here I must have bought a bible and christian books every time I was in the christian store which was alot ...

God been soo Good and I Praise Him for it all...

Hmmmmmmm

We never got read to as a child. I started reading at age 4, so I taught my older sis how to read and from then we read to each other from the children's Bible every night before we slept.We still have that Bible somewhere ... 20-odd years later.

Ah - the memories.

I think my favorite book was and still is Mother Goose book

I had the copy of mine from when I was little then I lost it some how, so I got my kids a copy when they were babies, and I have it put in storage bin.

Thanks to this post im going to dig it out!

I'm with Poe, no bed time stories.
But I do have a rhyme that was very special to me.
In second grade I kept getting into trouble for not doing my work.
My mom took me to the eye doctor and I got glasses.
The next day in class I was amazed at how the projector shined words on the chalkboard.
I never could see them before.
Thus the reason I never did my work.
Glasses opened up an entire world of new things for me.
The poem was...
"Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear.
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy was he."

My favs were: Winnie the Pooh, Your a Good Friend Charlie Brown, The Cat in the Hat, Cinderella, and Snow White.

i remember fuzzy wuzzy pine

what is it with u and bears???




love ya

Mine was as story book.

My mother read it to me almost every night ...until I was old enogh to read to myself. I enjoyed this book well into my teenage years.
And later on read it to my own daughters.

It was titled 3 Little Horses at the King's Palace.
Was about the kings three daughters...all with sweet dresses, sweet faces and very curly hair..a blonde, a brunette and one with raven colored hair. Centering upon the horses they discovered off a traveling carousel that were aptly named Whitey, Brownie and Blackie.
It is a sweet li'l story, with gorgeous drawings that allowed my imagination to run away with me.

In fact I still have this book, sitting on my watercolor painting table not 5 feet away from where I am sitting now. You know it has been a while..maybe I will take a few moments to enjoy memories of a precious time.

Bless your day!
