Childhood Books and Movies

The other day, in my TE class, my prof mentioned an author, Robert Munsch. As soon as she said his name, I had this crazy flash-back to when I was little and listening to his books on tape on car rides. Two of my favorites were, Mortimer and Mud Puddle, both of these selections are readily available for anyone to listen to on his website. I read a couple of his books the other day and then today I listened to the recordings.. I don't usually say this, but I loved his recordings! He uses amazing voices for his characters and fun effects.

While reminiscing about books I read as a child, I began thinking about movies I watched. Of course you had your Disney classics like, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King, but there were some others too. One of my favorite movies ever would have to be Ferngully. I find this to be pretty interesting because it's all about saving the environment and preserving the rainforest- both things I am still passionate about today. I like that at least some of my five-year-old values have held strong! Now that I'm looking up links to share on here, I have come across info on a second Ferngully! I guess I know one movie I'll be watching over Thanksgiving!
