Also as I got older. Little Women (of course I am an Amy)
& Black Beauty.
TTFN,
Amy
Lemmon BearsI loved going to the library.

Newcastle, OntarioI think my all time favourite children's book was Peter Pan, followed by Alice in Wonderland, The Secret Garden and The Velveteen Rabbit and all the Beatrix Potter books. Peter Pan is still my favourite book and I have 10 copies with pictures by different illustrators. I also have numerous copies of Alice in Wonderland, bu different illustrators. It's fun to open them all and see how each illustrator has interpretated the scenes.
I also loved the Bobsey Twins and the Rupert Annuals.
hugs,
Brenda
Rufnut Teddy'sliEveryone has mentioned my favourites - Enid Blytons faraway trees and some of the others, Charlottes web, Little House on the Prairie, and Peanuts comic books. :dance:
I loved Rupert Bear too Brenda! I used to receive an annual every Christmas and thought it was wonderful. Needless to say, I liked the rhyming story better than the story story!
BruinwerksDefinitely any Trixie Belden (I think someone else mentioned her too!)or Nancy Drew, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, To Kill A Mockingbird and (lest someone thinks I'm totally too serious) ARCHIE comics!!!

Here is my favorite. I love this book today. Its falling apart though. 
I remember looking at it as a kid, the illustrations are so rich. I even had one of the drawings enlarged to 24x36 and put in a frame over my daughters bed. Brings back so many memories.
Some others...
Frog and Toad - all of them
A Birthday for Francis
Billy and Blaze - all of them (I was fascinated with the pencil drawings)
Posts: 8,574by George MacDonald, first grade, first book I ever stayed up all night reading until it was finished, with a flashlight under the covers. In the morning mom said I looked awful and sent me back to bed- She didn't catch on until 3rd grade. LOL :crackup:
All the books by
All the books by
And starting at age three, all the
that had free mail in things:
The deal was if I could read it I could have it-so at age three I taught myself to read. Most annoyingly, but nevertheless...I would take the creal box around to various family members...."What's that word?"
but only one word....then when I had the first, second, third word memorized I would move on to the next. By the time the box was empty I had all the words memorized and could "read" it to mom and she would send for the free insides....
So I owe an incredable life of reading to cereal boxes.....Thank you
And of course I now owe my sanity to the good folks in
-we have had a 35 year long love affair with:
free books-meet your quota-quit-free books-meet your quota-quit......I routinely cycle through about 5 of the clubs and the hubs has 2....he learned from me. They must love us-
BUT WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A PUBLIC LIBRARY-DUE TO POOR MANAMGEMENT IN JOSEPHINE COUNTY
Does anyone in Camp Hill not work for the book clubs????

If Sir, you sir, Choose to chew sir,

Black Beauty is still my all time favourite book !!! in fact a couple of months ago I was going through my daughters old books and found it...so I sat down, reread it and cried all over again!
YorkshireMy love for books started very young and both my girls have such a large amount of books we could open the house up as a childrens library
My favs were:
The Faraway Tree
Benji
Greyfriars Bobby
any Enid Blyton
Beatrix Potter
Witch Mountain
I still love reading kids books - I recently finished reading a series of books called Charlie Bone which I would highly recommend to anyone who has a child of about 7/8 its like Harry Potter for younger kids (me included )

Gosh - I really liked GreyFriars Bobby too Ali ! (and cried !) But when I was really small
I loved the Brer Rabbit books ; especially the illustrations . Also 2 wonderful , old books no one ever seems to have heard
of ; "Preep" the baby pigeon , and "Gobbelino the Witches Cat" ???
I can remember being about 3 and flicking through the pages of Winnie the Pooh desperate to be able to read the story !! 
We all have such happy memories 
I'm eternally glad that my youngest son is an avid "reader" too (hopefully for life 
)

Oh 'The tale of Mrs Tiggy-winkle'...my absolute favourite! Also 'The Family from One End Street' about the Ruggles family in the 1930s...absolutely delightful.
I used to love Malory Towers and all those 'Jolly Hockey Sticks' type books about boarding school, midnight feasts and stuff. I liked the Swallows and Amazons too.
Brer Rabbit...Wind in the Willows..the Hobbit....Little Grey Rabbit...
Oh I wish I hadn't grown up !!
Newcastle, OntarioI looooove childrens literature and I adore illustration even more. I have a substantial collection of children's books and own MANY copies of the same book by different illustrators. My absolute most favouritest book in the whole world is Peter Pan as I never want to grow up LOL! I have 11 copies of it with different illustrations. I adore Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens with illustrations by Arthur Rackham. Then comes the Velveteen Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland and The Secret Garden, with many copies of each one. Beatrix Potter books are next - I really admire her both for her artwork and as a person.
I did read all the Bobsey Twin books as a child and the Nancy Drew as well. I really enjoyed discovering Dennis Lee and his Alligator Pie and Garbage Delight, when my kids were small. Now it's fun to see our grandson discovering the wonder of books. I will always be a book-aholic!

Brenda
Patsy Lake BearsI don't remember having any books untill I got a bedtime story book (about 8) I have no idea who wrote it. I just remember it had a little boy on the cover it may have been wee willie winkie as that was how he was dressed carrying a candle. I loved the book, used to treasure it until it got stolen. I had a friend who used to get loads of books and I was able to read them Enid Blytons Famous Five and the Far Away Tree. Not until I had my own children did I get to read Beatrix Potter, Wind in the Willows, Paddington Bear.
