Write your comment about Animal Crackers poem by Christopher Morley
Cecilia : This was in a set of books we had by Child Craft ...we just called them "The Orange Books". I LOVED the illustrations throughout! Although I was the 8th child of 12, there was a gap of 4 years between me and my next sister. So, my mom had more time to sit and read to my next older sister and me. I am 100% convinced she liked reading them even more than we loved listening to them.
