Your Favorite Children's Books

The Secret Garden is a great book!

 

I don't know about you guys but I still have ever single book I had as a kid and I still read them once in a blue moon...

 

My ultimate favorite children's book was The Giving Tree

 

yay thats what i said also...
that book was awesome..
Shel silversten is awesome...

 

i like all those eric carle books, especially the Very Hungry Catipillar

 

remember the bernstein bears...i think thats what they were called

 

I read those books and now I watch the cartoon. lol

 

lol..i would too if I knew when the cartoon was on..

 

The Chronicles of Narnia-C.S. Lewis

 

argh, double post, sorry.

 

aww, this thread is making me all nostalgic...

From the ones mentioned before - i loved the Phantom Tollbooth and Where the Wild Things are.

when I was tiny, also adored the Puddle Lane series - did anyone else read them? They were about a place in England called Pudddle Lane (funnily enough) and there was a wizerd at the end of the lane, the books were about the griffin? in his garden, tlaking cats and stuff. They had a detailed, 'hard' story on one page that mum would read and an easy version on the other page for me to read. I love love Loved them.

Also, there were books like Milly Molly Mandy, the Worst Witch books, Mr Majecka, The magic Schoolbus, Alfie and Annie Rose, Postman Pat and awesome old Golden Books.


ooh, and Roald Dahl once I was little older. I especially liked the BFG because the girl was also called Sophie

argh,what a nerd, but I have always loved books

 

dude berenstein bears ROCKED! and LITTLE CRITTER!!!! OH MY GOD i love little critter. tell me someone remembers little critterererererererer?

 

Yeah, isn't when every time you turn the page, you see what's in the caterpillars tummy. Or, it's everytime he eats something? I remember it having food in it. The apple..

​

 

When very little:

Puddle Lane
Magic Key

Bit older:
Famous 5
Mallory Towers (Lol)

Older still:
Babysitters Club (they had the whole identical chapter in every single one too. "This is how Kristy thought of the babysitters club. CLaudia does this, Mary-Anne does this, Stacey does this, etc etc...Grrr)

 

THey were so kool Did you just read the blue ones or more of them? There were loads with different coloured covers, and depending on the cover was how difficult they were. I loved them too and nobodies ever heard of them

 

Argh, just refound this thread - yeye, someone else knows Puddle Lane! yes, we had the blue ones, but also red and maybe green? I don't really remember, just that they were damn cool. Happy times.

 

I still love -- and possess -- the first book I was ever able to read. It was "The Sneetches and Other Stories," by Dr. Seuss. A total classic. I've committed some of it to memory.

I loved the following:
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The Outsiders
The White Mountains trilogy (The White Mountains, The City of Gold and Lead, The Pool of Fire) I surely must read that series again. I last read it in junior high in 1982!)
I also love The Hobbit (but haven't read the actual LOTR trilogy!)
and the Earthsea series by Ursula K. LeGuin, which begins with "A Wizard of Earthsea." Go hold that one up against this Harry Potter SHLOCK!

Blue skies,

The Giving Tree
The Hobbit
Dr. Seuss's books
Fairy tales

 

When I was a kid, I absolutely loved reading Nancy Drew - I think I read all of the original series. I also loved Anne of Green Gables - the trilogy of books, I forget the other 2 titles. I was so proud, I read all three thick books in one summer.

 

Ohh....when I was really little...about 7-12 years old I just loved reading and by the way good books.......I mean not only for children...like Jules Verne books...
But one of my favourite was "Secret garden" and I enjoyed reading Robin Hood, by Howard Pyle, I just didn't like the end...it was too sad....I cried all times I read it
