    After seeing your list, I've got to add Eeyore (spelling?).

    I loved Eeyore too....
    
    My favorite book when I was a baby was 'The Little Engine that Could', according to my parents, but I don't remember if the train had a name or not. My dad would get bored reading the story over & over again, so he would change it...and I would get upset & not let him turn the page. All this before I was 2!

    Small kids have an incredible capacity to have favorite stories repeated to them until you're about to run screaming :D My kids did that too ... and I probably did the same thing. It's amazing how someone under the age of 2 can really put her foot down too! Did you happen to keep your old book? My kids (ages 21 and 17) kept a ratty "Santa's Beard is Soft and Warm" and "Angel Bunny" to remind them of times past.

    I am pretty sure that I still have the book somewhere - probably up in the rafters of my parent's garage.
    
    I also have to add Betsy, Tacy, and Tib.

    I was wondering about adding Dick and Jane.
    I think I can still recite some of those books from memory.
    They may have been the first books I could read on my own.

    Little Red Riding Hood, I can remember repeating the story everyday at "story time" when I was in pre-school. I couldn't quite understand why Little Red Riding Hood disobeyed her mother and got into so much trouble, I thought she should just have listened... LOL!
    
    When I was older one of the stories that stuck in my head was The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - I later bought the complete stories of Narnia and read the whole thing as an adult.

    Narnia definitely was up there.
    I liked the oldest sister best.
    
    I also was into the Prydain series by Lloyd Alexander.
