re: What were your favorite books as children?

Quoting ♥ Mommy Meg ♥:“ My favorite book when I was very young from what my mom told me was The Wind in the Willow and The Bernstein ... [snip!] ... Bedelia James and the Giant Peach The Very Hungry Catapillar The Cat in the Hat Curious George Charlotte's Web Matilda ”

I LOVED the Rahl Dahl books. That guy had a wicked imagination!

Quoting cherrya03:“ I cant remember the name exactly but its a book where the catipillar turns into a butterfly. I loved that book and I'm trying to find it for my kids.”

I'm not sure if this is the bood your thinking about but the one that comes to mind is "The Very Hungry Catipillar" by Eric Carle. It has great pictures in it...one of my favorite by him..

Quoting Tara Maureen:“ The Giver was def. one of my faves as well. Anything Beverly Cleary (I think that's how you spell ... [snip!] ... You Forever and a bunch more. I was a major bookworm when I was younger. I wish I could remember all the stories I loved!”

Did you ever read a tree grows in brookyln?

Quoting cherrya03:“ Yeah. Did you mean story books with chapters?”

it doesn't matter, anything really.

Quoting Danielle*GavinsMami*[HBC]:“ Where the wild things are!”

those were cool!

Quoting Noah.:“ Right now I am reading The Giver to my son, it was my mother's day gift from my mother. It made me remember ... [snip!] ... Arithmetic. Hatchet. Brian's Winter. Bridge to Terebithia. Stone Fox. My Side of the Mountain. What are yours?”

I liked a lot of the books you listed. I can't believe my husband never read The Hatchet and the sequel. I LOVED those books. I loved Mrs Piggle-wiggle, Pippi Longstocking, Dr Seuss, the Laura Ingalls Wilder series, Where The Wild Things Are, The Wuggie Norple Story, Goosebumps, Hankthe Cowdogand about a million more. My mother was reading to me from day one and I loved to read. By the time I was 6 I was reading National Geographic and at 11 I read To Kill A Mockingbird, and then had to explain it to all the highschool seniors who were required to read it and had no idea what it was about. LoL I have been going into bookstores and picking out thousands of books that I want to buy for our baby. That's one of my favorite things to do lately.

Quoting qdhilton88 [HBC]:“ i remember my mom reading me a book called " Are you my mother" im pretty sure it was about a little ... [snip!] ... http://www.amazon.com/Are-You-Mother-P-D-Eastman/dp/0394800184/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216523544&sr=8-1”

I don't remember that, but I DO remember a story about pierre we read in the second grade, and we had to write our own story about a guy named pierre. mine was about pierre the frenchman who wrestled snakes in the amazon, lmao.

Quoting Noah.:“ Did you ever read a tree grows in brookyln?”

I believe I did, but I couldn't tell you what it was about now, lol.

Quoting Kimberlea:“ paper bag princess by robert munch (sp?) Or the first book i ever learned to read Fun with Dick And Jane!!”

I didn't know Dick and Jane was a book!

Quoting Bianca Wonka:“ Um.. when I was little, the only books I can remember reading were my mother's textbooks. She was still ... [snip!] ... alot of poems and plays in it. If I had the option, I probably would have liked the Winnie the Pooh stories by A.A. Milne.”

oooh you got to read super classy classic literature.
