Favorite Books While You Were A Child?
What were your favorite books when you were a child?
I read anything by Shel Silverstein, of course Dr. Seuss, "Little Blue & Little Yellow" (by Leo Lionni), "Curious George"......
Then as I got slightly older.. "1984", "Animal Farm'', "Moby Dick", "Treasure Island".... Just to name a few.....

The Bearnstein Bears were great, my Dad always used to read them to me and my brothers and do different voices for the characters.
My favorite book as a really young kid was this little one called "I am a Puppy". It was like 6 pages long, was a green cover with a beagle on the front...I had that book until my German Shepherd ate it...kind of ironic I guess.
Charlotte's Web was a good one too!  |

When I was really young, I liked "Around the World With Ant and Bee." Still have a really beat up copy of it.
I loved the Bernstein Bears and all Snoopy books. Also Ramona Quimby.
In high school my favorite required reading books were A Separate Peace, To Kill a Mockingbird and I think that was it. We had suck reading at my high school.

I've always been a Seussical kinda girl! I loved One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish SOOOOO much that I memorized it at a very early age! Yes, I celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday every year (March 2). My daughters' school always does a Green Eggs and Ham day on the school day closest to March 2nd. The first words my 5 year old read were from Hop on Pop.

I liked the Bernstein Bears books and also the Ramona books... Is that odd that i read the Romana books? I guess thats what happens when you live in a house with mostly women.

Watership Down is a great book.
I remember Where the Wild Things Are.
My dad used to read us The Hardy Boys every night.

I read the Hobbit about 1,347 times.
I also liked On the Beach by Neville Shute. I didn't understand it all, but that didn't keep me from reading it two or three times.
