Wonderful choices. Lots of my favorite pairings.
I decided to focus this time on oppositional duos in children's books. Here's my post: http://readerbuzz.blogspot.com/2011/03/top-ten-dynamic-duos.html
Thanks, Paula and Deb! I visited your posts and left comments! I was just thinking...I finished reading Palace of Mirrors a few weeks ago...I could have added Cecelia and Harper!!!
I love your list! I focused on kids' books as well, but only ended up with characters from easy readers. I love that you included Ramona and Beezus and Charlotte and Wilbur - great choices!
Thanks, Katie! I just followed your blog...love your list of picture book duos!!!
Oh Mary and Dickon is a great pairing!
My list is HERE
oh, Ramona and Beezus . . . love that one. nice list. Kaye—the road goes ever ever on
Great choices, pls stop by and see mine.
Rachel, Kaye, and Mary Ann! Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments. I visited your blogs and reciprocated...I also am a follower now!!!
Charlotte/Wilbur and Beezus/Ramona for the win! Great choices
I TOTALLY should have put Charlotte and Wilbur. What was I thinking? Beezus and Ramona are a good choice, too. I haven't read all of your other picks, but of course my list and yours share the Hogwarts trio. :)
Charlotte and Wilbur...genius! If I'd done a version of this post for my cildrens/YA blog, they would definitely be on it...
Birdie, Jenna, and Heather! I love Charlotte's Web! Who'd have thought that a pig and a spider could be such great friends!!!
Thanks for stopping by and following. I'm your newest follower! Charlotte and Wilbur are a great pair.
