Favourite book as a kid

Dr, Seuss was my hero

 

oooh dr seuss, i loved these books, i have still got my original copy, and it means the world to me, i remember still being excited 2 years ago when I went to islands of adventure in florida into dr seuss land
peacex

 

haha i loved dr. seuss....except that one book where the pants were following one of the characters..can't remember the name though :0(

but i definitely read all those books and i think that my favorite book growing up was the velveteen rabbit :0)

 

My favorites were Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn.

I also loved reading Goodnight Moon to my son a few thousand times.

 

someone mentioned "indian in the cupboard"...i forgot about that gem...that book is awesome. someone else mentioned pippi longstocking...man, i read all the pippi books, as gay as that sounds...and on an even more gay note...i remember that there was a local video store that carried all the 1970's pippi movies fresh from scandanavia...they were awesome. i used to wish that pippi was my girlfriend and we would run away from home together and shag all night on a bed attached to an air balloon...

 

"The Hungry Catepillar", "The Velveteen Rabbit", and "Grandma Upstairs, Grandma Downstairs"

 

I remember the Hungry Caterpillar. I also loved The Jolly Postman

 

ah so many good ones have been mentioned - susan cooper's books, the indian in the cupboard, the very hungry caterpillar, the velveteen rabbit.

I also (embarrassingly) loved enid blyton - the faraway tree, the famous five. Reading them again for nostalgia I can't believe racist/sexist they are. it's terrible.

I also adored/still adore Charlotte's Web, all of Roald Dahl, heaps of Golden Books and the Puddle Lane series.

 

Remember those books called Smarty Pants, Lazy Mary and The Very Hungy Giant? I loved those books.

 

Where the Wild Things Are

 

mine was and is TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, beautiful book and it's true even today about racial prejudice

 

the frog and toad books!

 

oh and how about "the giving tree"

 

Lord of the Rings.....I read it with my dad when I was 10....

 

i really liked 'the wind in the willows' appantly alot of people say they've read it but theey actually haven't..

 

haha yeah my bro had loads of those upstairs.

 

I guess I could say I still am a kid, but when i was younger i loved anything and everything by roald dahl! also narnia.. although i still do theyre amazing books and although its very christian i still love it. the aslan-god idea really gets to me somehow, lol, probably why i love it so much (not that I'm Christian).

 

I loved (and still do!!) the Moomin books by Tove Jansson.

 

oh yeah...i've read that...

 

I never really had a favourite. When I was four, I was reading single words; by the time I turned five, I could read chapter books, and it took off from there. I read ANYTHING I could get my hands on...I never really had a book I read over and over again, but I did like Roald Dahl.
