What’s your favorite book from your childhood? I loved Winnie the Pooh.
The best children’s books are ones I appreciate all the more with the passage of time. Here Mr. Wolf, an author of the kinds of children’s books that adults can enjoy too, shares a few of his illustrations…
Here’s Captain Bee Beard – a pirate who has a beard made out of bees! (From Mr. Wolf’s children’s book: Terry The Time Travelling Tortoise.)
Mr. Pong gets his comeuppance! (From Mr. Wolf’s children’s book: The Top Secret Cheese.)
Have you ever seen a Posh-Me-Posh-Ewe animal before? (From Mr. Wolf’s forthcoming children’s book: Mr. Zumpo’s Amazing Zoo of Unusual Animals.)

The Wolf cartoons are pretty funny, but I bet some of the humor is above the kids’ heads.
I know I could read around age 5 but I don’t recall how I learned. I read what were called children’s classics: Heidi, The Swiss Family Robinson, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, Black Beauty, The Railway Children. I have no recollection of enjoying books intended for younger children and don’t remember my mother reading to me.
There are so many great children’s books nowadays. When I was young we had these moral and “educational” stuff, which I was terrified of. But I liked a book called “Rikki Tikki Tavi”, with different animal stories.
Love the cartoons! I think being a cartoonist for a children’s book would be such a fun job. My favorite when I was really little was Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
My favorite was Charlotte’s Web. I must have read it about 100 times. I remember my mother had to end up buying it from the library. Or was it that I never returned it and they sent her a bill?

They are. I’m still a bit old-fashioned I’d say. I still like to read a hard copy.
