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.)
Happiness Between Tails speaks to and from the heart. It connects lovers — of pets, authors, books — and of my still-unreleased novels, “Flamenco + the Sitting Cat” and “Tango + the Sitting Cat.” The stories are my love letters to all who fear they're too odd, too damaged, too old, too whatever to find happiness.

Thank you for sharing… two books come into mind: Cinderella and Snow White (telling my age here, eh?) 🙂
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.
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.
