Children's Books I Love

Yesterday's post title, In Which My Husband Has A Wish, is an homage to some of my favorite children's books. Books, quite frankly, that almost nobody seems to know about. It might be because they're Norwegian (I believe). I was introduced by my first-generation Norwegian-Australian third-grade teacher. I own very ratty copies purchased many, many years ago at the Barnes and Noble Annex for one dollar each. I know this because they both have their price stickers still on them. The list price was a buck and a quarter. I got a bargain.

What are these wonderful books? I'll let this post be a Thanksgiving treasure hunt. It's about time I had a truly interactive blog post. My blog title was in the format of the chapter titles/headings. My hint for the treasure hunt is this: "Chapter IV: In which owing to the Hattifatteners' night attack the Snork Maiden loses her hair, and in which the most remarkable discovery is made on Lonely Island."

Do you know these books from your childhood and recognize the description? Or are you just good at Googling? Either way, try to Name That Book/Those Books in the comments!
