I felt bad that they made Mike and Mary Anne dig themselves a basement and stay there forever. I guess it's nice that they found a new purpose in life, or whatever, but I still found it depressing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-childrens-books-to-read-out-loud#post-1050328 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 17:23:24 +0000 mrs. 64 1050328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: We didn't have any Dr. Seuss books growing up because my mom can't stand him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-childrens-books-to-read-out-loud#post-1050222 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 16:30:27 +0000 pelikila 1050222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RubyCali: Like a whine/whimper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-childrens-books-to-read-out-loud#post-1050211 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 16:24:55 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1050211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: @Cole: I don't like Doggies either!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-childrens-books-to-read-out-loud#post-1050209 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 16:24:25 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1050209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: I'm not a fan of Seuss either.

My dogs have heard it enough that they chime in at the right spots (one starts barking by 4 dogs, they are both silent on 6 quiet dogs, and the second one starts howling on 9 dogs on a moonlit night). </p> <p>I would say right now, Dr. Seuss books I stumble over the most so they are my least favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-childrens-books-to-read-out-loud#post-1050127 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 15:46:49 +0000 cascademom 1050127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: It's on my refuse to read to LO list.

Omg I want to throw them out the window, especially the novels (long long version of the stories). LO loves them, and as a good mother I have to let him borrow them from the library. But seriously if I have to read Hero of the Railway one more time I might go crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-childrens-books-to-read-out-loud#post-1050092 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 15:31:47 +0000 cascademom 1050092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doggies by Sandra Boynton </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-childrens-books-to-read-out-loud#post-1050069 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 15:20:14 +0000 mrsjazz 1050069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of LO's books it's "Please, Baby, Please," a book by Spike Lee and his wife because every page ends with "please baby baby please" or "baby baby please baby" and my mouth and throat usually hurt after I read it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-childrens-books-to-read-out-loud#post-1050063 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 15:18:14 +0000 sarac 1050063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cecily G and the 9 Monkeys.
