Quoting bittermelon:“ the scroobius pip one unicorn hans cristian anderson & grimms fairytales random house book of humor faeries where the wildthings are the way things work and many, many more.”

haha, you can't forget the classic fairy tales. the way things work sounds really familiar, I know I've read it, but I don't remember.

Were you familiar with any of the books I listed?

I like most of the ones you listed and like a million others!
The Velveteen Rabbit, Tuck Everlasting, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh (sp?),Island of the Blue Dophin, Charlotte's Web, The Trumpeter Swan, Where the Red Fern Grows, The Sign of the Beaver, The Witch of Blackbird Pond... I'm such a pre teen, haha.

Quoting Fleur De Lys:“ I totally still have most of those books. I read Leo the Lop to Feyana just a couple days ago.  ”

i love leo the lop I have that somewhere too   they have rerelased most of them but, they are totally redone and ruined IMO. Chris talks to the author through email now and again. he lives here in town and when He's not busy redoing the books we're going to ask him to sign chris's copy of Weedle on the needle. He lives here in town!!!!

Tuck Everlasting was goood! Disney made a movie too I think, and they did a decent job. Where the Red Fern Grows was way too sad for me! I remember the Sign of the Beaver! I forgot what its about, but I KNOW I read it.

Do you remember what the name of the book was where all the animals hid inside a fort and fought a weasel, i think, i'm pretty sure the villain was a weasel, and I don't think it was the Nihm books.

I read several of those too. I had to read Where The Red Fern Grows. I didn't want to. I cried and cried and cried. It was so sad. I LOVED the Velveteen Rabbit too.

Hmm.. That sounds familiar but I'm not sure.
I loved this one book that I cannot, for the life of me, remember what it's called. It was about a boy (I think he ran away from home or his parents died.. something) and there was train tracks involved and a knot untieing contest to win pizza.. Something about sneakers...

NVM. Maniac Magee. ^^
