Emmanuelle at Words and Peace is hosting the Books Published in the First Years of My Life Challenge.

What is this challenge-that’s-a mouthful all about?
Easy: pick up and read a book that was published in the first years of my life; 1 book per year.

I originally thought I would complete this challenge (at the Toddler level) by reading adult books, but the challenge logo puts me in mind of snuggling up with a book as a child – and so I think I’m going to read some of the books I might have read then. Here’s my list:

1954 – Horton Hears A Who! by Dr. Suess
1955 – Eloise by Kay Thompson
1956 – Harry the Dirty Dog by Gene Zion
