Your favorite children's tale?

By TIMES STAFF
Published October 11, 2005


Who hasn't been charmed by the life-affirming Fern and her pig, Wilbur, in the E.B. White classic Charlotte's Web? Or chuckled at the persistence of Sam-I-Am and his skeptical eater of Green Eggs and Ham in Dr. Seuss' wonderfully silly rhymes?

Tell us in 50 words or less what childhood book you hold dear and why, for possible inclusion in a story about childhood favorites.

Send your entries with a subject line of "Children's Tales" to Katherine Snow Smith by e-mail to snowsmith@verizon.net or write to her c/o the St. Petersburg Times, Floridian, "Children's Tales," P.O. Box 1121, St. Petersburg, FL 33731. All entries must be received by Friday.
