Our Favorite Writers Share Their Favorite Childhood Books
Nell Freudenberger, author of THE NEWLYWEDS
“A House Is A House for Me,” by Mary Ann Hoberman, is still the best first poem written for children. The gorgeous, intricate illustrations and the insanely inventive rhymes are so mesmerizing that I found I still knew much of the book by heart when I started reading it to my daughter, more than thirty years after my mother last read it to me.
