Yeah, THAT Tikki Tikki Tembo! I adored that book. Mom must have been soooo sick of it.

Star-bellied (and un-Star-bellied) Sneetches and Horton Hatches an Elephant were two we had on tape, which probably was a good thing...that and the pants with nobody inside 'em.

Also had Green Eggs and Ham memorized at one point. I could say the whole thing all the way through.

Sigh...probably used up brain cells very early in life. It would explain a lot!

I sometimes tease my Mom because she read that to me so many times but still can't remember TTT's full name :)

Oh, those pants were spooky! :) We had some records with the Horton stories on them. Also had a large collection of fairy tales on record, plus some Halloween ghost stories. I still have my Hobbit book and record set! :)

Also had Green Eggs and Ham memorized at one point. I could say the whole thing all the way through.

I think I had it memorized at one point but when I try to remember it now I always get the order confused. Think that's a good excuse to read it again. . . :)

Hmm, interesting theory--maybe that's what happened to my brain--I knew it had to be something :)
