The OutDaughtered mom captioned her post with, “Story time! What was your favorite childhood book?” And, it looks like many fans still think fondly about the Nancy Drew stories.  Did you know know that the first one appeared way back in the 1930s? Credited to Carolyn Keen, the stories actually got written by numerous ghostwriters. Then, another favorite that cropped up repeatedly was Green Eggs And Ham.

Curious George also got a lot of mentions. And, Dr. Seuss seems universally popular. Remember The Cat in the Hat? Then, Click Clack Moo claimed a few mentions, as did Ferdinand the Bull. What else? Well, Winnie the Pooh seems a favorite alongside Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Alice in Wonderland, Black Beauty and Heidi scored well with lots of people, as well.

In fact, their website notes it helps “foster a bond between parents and children, lower kids’ stress levels and reinforce their literacy skills and mastery of language.” Interestingly, a lot of OutDaughtered fans commented that they recall first reading via bedtime stories.
