Corduroy
Viking Juvenile, 1968
a favorite from my childhood that I'm passing to my child
Sweet story with a wonderful message. As a mom by adoption, this tale has a subtle subtext that works for our family. Also nice to have characters that aren't white without hitting you over the head with "diversity".

tear jerker
Try reading this for the first time while pregnant and see a psychiatrist if it doesn't bring tears to your eyes. This is a good story to help anyone of any age to better understand life.

Moleskine Ruled Notebook Large
Moleskine, 2008
More for the same
Isn't it something how Amazon will charge $17.95 for the item stocked by Amazon shipping free 2-day with your $75/year subscription, but it is only $13.50 Moleskine Large Notebook Ruled if you buy through Amazon from another retailer? Doesn't seem right, really.
