When a girl calls for help, y'all came a-hollerin'.
And I have absolutely no idea why I'm getting all Paula Deen here. Welcome to my mind.
A couple weeks ago, I needed some help because I was pulling inappropriate books off the library shelves at random. I got great responses from you guys and wanted to share everyone's suggestions. Although, if you live in Indianapolis, just know I already requested every single book from the library. Sorry.
Before I start listing everything, two things:
1: Megan at Sorta Crunchy sent me to her recently compiled list, Children's Literature We Love! It is awesome and so what I need to carry in my library bag. It's sorted by ages and includes old and new books, which I love since my childhood books are very sentimental to me and I want to pass them on to Madeline without her missing the fun new ones too.
If you're wondering whether The List is credible or not, it includes some of my favorites like Tasha Tudor's A Time to Keep and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. And since not everything is about me, it's also credible because most of your suggestions made the list.
2. Amy suggested my favorite, favorite, favorite book, You Are Special. No matter how many times I read it, I still get a lump in my throat when I read the last few pages. It is a beautiful story and I cannot recommend it enough.
OK, enough from me. Here are all your suggestions. Thanks again!

Oops. Sorry for that! She does fabulous illustrations too, so maybe that's why so much came up. We love Mr. Putter and Tabby, but she does other excellent stuff too.
Katie, you are so adorable!
I get that same lump whenever I read the last part of You Are Special. Ah! It just gets me!
Thanks for the link, dear! Enjoy your books :)
