I love 'Dear God Kids'

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one who remembers the 'Dear God Kids' created by Annie Fitzgerald. I used to have school notebooks with them on the cover which also had witty kids' prayers like


Though the notebooks aren't available anymore, luckily parents and kids can still get pre-loved copies of Dear God books of prayers from Book Sale. Yay for secondhand, but still valuable books. The Dear God series is a great and fun way of introducing kids to prayer - it worked well for me. =)

Fave books from my childhood

I've always loved reading as a kid. I still remember how I'd always get a new book from mom after PTC (Parent Teacher Conference) back in 2nd grade with the condition that my grades were high - an O or O* (outsanding) for that matter. And I'd always love it when we went to our neighborhood National Bookstore to get my reward. I just wish that the books from my childhood would still be available in stores so I could share them with our kid and maybe make her love reading as much as I did (my whole Sweet Valley Kids collection and other books for that matter were taken by Ondoy). Here are just some of my childhood book favorites. :) Thanks mom for indulging my early interest in reading. Sadly I don't read as much now, but it still has a special place in my heart that's just waiting to be tapped.

My first ever Sweet Valley Kids book - Numbers 1-4 weren't available that time so I went straight to #5

I borrowed this book from our grade school library for more than 5 times

Don't worry, Little Witch is apparently a good little witch =)

If anyone knows where I could still get them locally, please let me know. So, do you have your own early memories of your favorite books?
