April's A -Z Challenge: The Letter "J"

We all love books in our family.  My Mom and Dad are always reading still, and always were when we were growing up.  That example was passed down to us naturally, and we often give books as gifts.  My sister Julie gave these two books to my girls when they were little.  (She also gave my son a copy of Animalia, but I'm not sure where that one got to.)

So, today's A-Z Challenge on The Letter "J" is for Julie, Jack Sprat and the "J" was Jiggling:

Could eat no fat,

His wife could eat no lean;

And so,

Betwixt them both,

They licked the platter clean.

Which are your favorite nursery rhyme and alphabet books?

Today is the tenth day of the A - Z Challenge, which is hosted by  Arlee Bird's: Tossing It Out.   Several of my blogging friends are participating, and this year there are over 1,200 participants. We post everyday, except for Sundays, and work our way through the alphabet. I am posting past photos that I have taken, and am linking them up to the posts where the photos originated from too. When you are all done here at Oregon Gifts,  please click here to visit the other bloggers who are participating in this challenge.
