Your Favorite Children's Books

ANYTHING I could get my friggin hands on! Even my older sisters Medical books didn't go untouched!

 

well, pretty much all of robert a heinlein's "juvenile" series (especially _have space suit, will travel_)... (i had finished off all the kid sf novels & story collections at local libraries - when i was like 11 my dad gave my his paperback copies of _stranger in a strange land_ & _tropic of cancer_ ...
i never finished the miller, but i was ready for heinlein's "adult" writings going clear back to 1939..
& all those SF shelves in the adult section, with lots of other authors...
--- this was maybe 1963 or so...

 

War and Peace, The Brothers Karamazov... the standards.

The Narnia series
Alice in Wonderland
The Redwall books (so embarrassing)

God, I just recently read The Secret Garden for the first time. Where have I been??? So great!

 

The Giving Tree
Good Night Moon
Berstein Bears
I used to read tons when I was little. I could read a whole book by myself at age 3 lol.

 

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Never got the chance to read The Adventures of Huck Finn, but I'm sure it's pretty good.

 

The secret garden, goodnight moon, the narnia books, the wizard of oz series, a wrinkle in time, a wind in the door, the redwall books, Goerge and martha(about hippopotamuses), charlie and the chocolate factory, the great glass elevator...a lot of things.

 

Definitely A Wrinkle In Time, I read that book over and over and over...

 

The Lobster Chronicles
The Hungry Ocean


Haha, I was obsessed with The Perfect Storm when it came out a few years back. Other than that, I was a fairly odd reader. I remember reading James Michener's Chesapeake when I was ten or so.

 

"whats a fraggle?" and "where the wild things are"

 

I absolutely ADORED "Where the Wild Things Are" and "The Giving Tree." I should get those out and re-read them sometime...

And then, I loved the Chronicles of Narnia and "Through the Looking Glass." I read "Animal Farm" when I was 10, and it's been my all-time favorite ever since...

 

"Maniac Magee"

 

Alexander and the terrable, horrible,no good,very bad,day. Tha was great

 

I liked Amelia Badelia, The Ramona series, Are You There God It's Me Margret (We must we must we must increase our bust) LOL! when I was a very small child I liked Make room for Ducklings. Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel. Miss Nelson is Missing. Currious George. Peter Rabbit, Velvatene Rabbit, Winnie The Pooh, Richard Scareys Books. Shel Silverstiens Books. Lots of Little golden Books. I guess I am just a book person LOL.

 

I adored "An old-fashioned girl" by L.M. Alcott and "Chico Carlo" by Juana de Ibarbourou (Uruguayan)

 

well when I was REALLY young, I read the Sesimee Street books, Little Critter, and Berenstain Bears... but I remember when I was a pre-teen, I'd read Judy Blume's book Freckle Juice, and the book There's A Boy In The Girls' Bathroom. I would read those over and over... and then in high school I always read the Full House series and Goosebumps. Then I kinda got out of reading.

 

This has got to be The Little Prince and no other

 

The Giving Tree


Harold and the Purple Crayon

as a tween, i loved all the Babysitter's Club books.

and in 5th grade (for some reason i remember this) i read a book whose title i can't remember....something about wild blackberries, or something. at this age, i had never read such a sad book that made me cry. it's about a kid whose friend dies of a bee sting...anyone know this? i'd love if i could remember the title!

peace.
LP

ooooh! i found it on amazon.com! it's called A Taste of Blackberries.

 

Goodnight Moon

 

"rootabaga stories" by carl sandburg.i read some of the stories to my kids but i think i liked the stories more than they did.

 

I loved the Velveteen Rabbit.
