Day 19 Book Photo Challenge: Makes Me Feel Nostalgic

This was, without a shadow of a doubt, my absolute favorite book as a child and it was the first book I went out and found for my niece, it is that important to me. Enid Blyton was my favorite author for the longest time and I read a lot of her books but I always came back to good old Pip (or not so good at sometimes, he is a pixie after all).

The stories are really short, mostly less than two pages a piece, so they were really good for me to practice reading with when I was young and not that good at reading. Sometimes I would just look at the pictures and remember the stories when I couldn't read them (too young to read and after learning how to read, to tired to concentrate around my Dyslexia.) 
For this reason, I have chosen The Adventures of Pip by Enid Blyton as my Nostalgic pick and included photos of some of my favorite illustrations. Enjoy, I do.

Book Photo Challenge Day 4: Favorite Title


I took this category quite literally in the sense that this is not my favorite book but is most defiantly on of my favorite titles.
I don’t know where this book comes from or if it is just an Australian thing but it was one of my favorite nonsense picture books as a really little kid.
Even now as a teacher, when there are workers on the roof of our school doing work and clomping around I will quote the title of this book.
I like nonsense. What can I say.
