I remember loving all the Encyclopedia Brown stuff plus a series called the Boxcar Children.

At 10, in primary school, in the days when there were men teachers, our teacher read "The Hobbit" to us on Friday afternoons. In the days before targets, outcomes and objectives when teachers were allowed to indulge their interests. I...

One of my favorite series of books growing up were the Ramona Quimby books by Beverly Cleary. The stories are just so vividly real and Cleary is one of the rare grown ups who truly got kids and how they thought and felt and was one of...

I still remember falling asleep to my moms voice reading the Berenstain Bears. We had the whole collection on the bookshelf and she would tell us to each pick a book for her to read to us.. of course we usually never even made it to the...

Love this book and would recommend it to anyone.

I remember, when I was little, anytime I would get sick, my mother would make a day out of it.

would go eat at burger king, this is when they...

I loved those comics.
And when I look back on them now there are many things that went over my head since I was a child.

I loved this book so much when I was kid! Anytime I mention it though no one seems to have ever heard of it, if you haven't you should find it and read it, it's the absolute best!

Ahh, what a classic. Just a simple story about good behaviour = rewarding, with some fun rhyming. When I was tiny, I felt so sad when the kittens got in trouble for losing their mittens. They had those strings on 'em and everything! The...

This was my absolute favorite as a child, I had my parents read either this or Where the Wild Things Are every night before I went to bed.

It's such a touching story.I just remember always being so worried every time my parents read it...

none of the stories seem to come to me. The book i'm thinking of was given to me by my Grandmother and it was about this witch like woman who lived on a hill and she woke up to this god awful day (traditionally). Stormy, cloudy, "woke...

I absolutely loved the book Tuck Everlasting. I loved it so much that I wrote the author and told her how much I loved the book and she sent me a letter back. Huge highlight of my childhood. I still have the book I carried around and...
