Childhood favorite

[Kyoko]

Did you have a favorite book growing up? Mine is "My Father's Dragon". The imagination is so great, you get a crazy and wild picture of what is going on in your head. I read it so many times and each time I read it, it was never dull. 

[Camilla and Darwin]

I love Shel Silversten!

[Jacquie Yorke (DRC)]

"James & the Giant Peach!"....Roald Dahl Rules! ...lol.....I also loved ALL of the Oz books by L. Frank Baum, all of the Walter Farley horse books ("The Black Stallion"), Beverly Cleary ("Ramona the Pest"), "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" by "Judy Blume and of course the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder.....

When I was much younger I had a particular fascination with "Harold & the Purple Crayon" by Crockett Johnson and "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak.

[Carol and Banjo]

I loved the Boxcar Children....and Nancy Drew was my all time favorite....I think I wanted to be her!

[Wendy and Eddie]

I wanted to be Nancy and live in a boxcar!! :-)

[Linda and "Toby"]

I loved reading Nancy Drew mysteries when I was young. I can still remember what the cover looked like on "Nancy Drew and the Secret of the Old Clock." ha! :)

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

I loved Beverly Clearly - all the Ramona books. I also read my mom's old Nancy Drew books. She had most of them and it was so cool to read an old hardback book like that!

[Camilla and Darwin]

Love all three of those you stated. I also watched the Ramona movies... hilarious!

[Frannie & Callie]

I didn't know there were Ramona movies! I loved all the books!

[Annie Norton (Missy May)]

Growing up I was a Nancy Drew fan! Today my favorite children's author is Cynthia Rylant. Her books include picture books , easy readers and wonderful fiction.

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

I read the OZ series and like Karen, I have collected quite a few. I also loved the Nancy Drew, Trixie Beldon, Cherry Ames, and the Raggedy Ann and Andy series. Roald Dahl's Danny, Champion of the World was my husband's all time childhood favorite, with The White Mountain Trilogy books as a close second and My Side of the Mountain as his third. As adults we love all of Roald Dahl books but especially the BFG, which my husband reads to his students every year.

I loved Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing and Super Fudge by Judy Blume. Also Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar.

Yes, yes, yes, Judy Blume, read them all!
