Feature and Follow Friday #167

Question of the week...
What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid?

If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?

When I was a child, I remember be immersed in the adventures of Martine. A 10 years old little girl who discovered life with her friends, her two brothers and her dog Patapouf and her cat.

Since this series was created in 1954 and continued until 2010, many children have grown up with Martine's adventures. It has been translated into many languages. In recent years, parody of the title have been created for adults on the internet.

Otherwise, I remember that my parents read to me "La Fontaine's Fables". 

So I grew up with "The Ant and the Grasshopper", "The Oak and the Reed" or "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse".

Since I don't have kids myself, last time I've read a story for a child was for Christmas a few years ago. It was "Santa Claus"... 
It was to make a diversion before putting all the gifts under the tree...

What about you ?

Blog Hop...How does this work?

First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools — keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them “hi” in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image).

You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you! What sets this Hop apart from others, is our Feature. Each week we will showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Who is our Feature today?

Find out below. Just remember it is required, if you participate, to follow our Features and you must follow the hosts (Parajunkee's View & Alison Can Read) as a courtesy. How do you follow someone? Well, if you have a preference, state it in your #FF post. A lot of blogs are transitioning to WordPress in which they do not have the luxury of GFC, so an RSS subscription is appreciated or if you choose an email subscription. If you don’t have GFC please state in your post how you would like to be followed.
