Mama isn't as gifted a storyteller, but I did get points the other day for a story about two girls (who bear a suspicious resemblance to my two girls) whose big floppy hats get stolen by two baby chipmunks. :-) My girls love for their dad to tell them stories (”without the books”, as BabyGirl says).

A couple of books that I did keep in the girls library were Shel Silveretein's "Falling Up" and Angela Johnson's "Shoes Like Miss Alice's" During my daughter’s early years, I created a male character that mirrored their ages and guided them through his many adventures for their bedtime stories.
