OH, OH, OH, OH CHARI!!!!!!   
This is one of my favorites!!!! This is why I wanted "P" for the original "Poppy Seed Cakes".
I learned about this book from Mary Reed Newland's The Year and Our Children. It took me a while to hunt it down because she had the wrong author (listed it by the illustrators), plus it being written in 1924, you can only buy old copies.
"Margery Clark" is actually a nom de plume of Margery Closely Quigley and fellow librarian Mary E. Clark. The book is illustrated by Maud and Miska Petersham and are so delightful!
This is such a great read-aloud, and to hear the little ones later talking about Auntie Katushka and the childish behaviors of Andrewshek and Erminka that get them into trouble.
I've done some asking around, because I thought I was based on Ukrainian, but it's kind of a blend of Hungarian, Slavic, Russian, and Ukrainian traditions, which was common in the US to put a blend.
I put this in our Lent/Easter/eggs pile, since it ties a bit with our pysanky. |

Wow, Jenn! So much info! I will need to share this with the kids!!!
Yes, thanks for the spreadsheet!
You know, this has got me thinking....my friend comes over to visit every 4 to 10 weeks with her little ones...including my two year old godson who is getting a book for his baptism anniversary present (You all are SO surprised, right?  ) and I think I will start setting aside a couple of my favorites to read to them so they will have a nice memory of me when they grow up

It's "T" this time, Chari. However, I'm going to sneak in one of my B's by using the "The" in the title:
The Bear That Heard Crying
I am such a cheater, cheater!

OK ladies. No one ever accused me of being patient. I've got scads of great "B" books that just won't get voiced on this thread. Therefore, I've entered a bunch of our favorites on my blog. Take a peek.
I was considering just keeping an alphabetical list going on the blog ... what do you think? Would you like to see that? I might even go one step further and add favorite read-aloud chapter books, but they would be separately done at a later time.
