what was your favorite book when you were a kid?

Hey I love to read books even when I was a child.I read fairy tales,the snow white and the 7dwarves,Little Red Riding Hood,Goldilocks these were some of my favourites.I also love to read comics of flash Gordan,spider man,wonder woman and lots.

There were several favorites in my childhood and I was reading at a 5th grade level in 3rd grade so you can tell I was and still am a voracious reader. The Forgotten Door - a boy from another universe falls through into ours The Ghost That Went to School - very fun Pippi Longstocking books Katie John books Little Men and Jo's Boys - HATED Little Women too depressing! Nancy Drew books There were some others that I'd LOVE to read again, but with all our moves over the years, they got lost. There was a wonderful book about Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan written for young people that started with Anne's childhood and her brother dying in a poor house then through her education and on to the traditional story where she shows up at the Keller's house and on through their lives. I liked this one particularly because it told about BOTH of the very brave ladies. I'm STILL looking for a copy of that one. One was about a family of dolls (mother, father, baby, boy, girl, maid/cook and a fish on a platter) who lived in a doll house that got taken on a ship by their "family" - well the ship sank and they were shipwrecked. I have NO idea of the title and the book was already pretty OLD when I read it back in the early 70s. almost 40 years later and I can still remember bits of it!

hmm, when I was a kid I really love to read folktales, myths and fairy tales. Actually, until now, I still fond of these things. Works of Grimms Brother and Hans Christen Andersen are my favorites fairy tale stories especially little mermaid, cinderella, sleeping beauty and the princess and the pea. I remember that I imagined that I am a princess and such while reading these stories.

The Dr Suess books were my favorite when I was little. My grandmother bought them for me and would go around making rhymes like the cat in the hat. As I became older, I loved Laura Ingal Wilder books and still will find myself reading them from time to time.

I love reading today and it is likely because of the books I adored hearing as a little kid. 2 that I remember the most... one I always asked my mom to read and one I always asked from my dad! My Mom's was Are You My Mother by P.D. Eastman. My Dad's was "Stand Back" Said the Elephant, "I'm Going to Sneeze!" by Patricia Thomas. Of course there were many other books (Farmer Grover, Corduroy, etc.)but those 2 were the strongest memories, I think.

I loved those series books like "Billy Blue Hat" or "Roger Red Hat". Do you remember those? They were very funny but I liked them a lot. Then, you had those other books too like "Mr Smelly" and "Mr Happy" and all of the Mr Men series! We are going back years now though, literally. Andrew

i would have to say snow white in the seven dwarfs,and the three bears

There was a book that I had at Christmas time. I don't remember the title, but it was a book that was longer than wide. It had stories, poems, and carols in it. It was pink....lol....That's all I can remember about it other than I loved it to pieces which may be why I don't have it anymore. I would love to have a new copy for my grandchildren to read to them for Christmas. Anyone have any ideas as to what the title to that book may have been? DCMerkle

I loved fairy tales and princesses - my favourite was Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty. We didn't have a lot of coloured picture books, cartoons or movies like now. I lived then in a safer neighbourhood, where children could run around and play. We had a group of friends, and we used to pretend to be Snow White, the princesses, Prince Charming or other characters in the fairy tales we read about.

Well I would usually read all those classics published by ladybird. I love reading classic fairy tales and adventures. I remember reading the three musketeers, the last of the mohicans and 20,000 leagues under the sea. Those are classics but it was made easier to read for kids by ladybird. We do have our own volumes at home and their still intact. Because of these books I have learned and loved to read.

hello, i love to read fairytales.. i even play with my doll after reading those books and portraying them. i imagine that one day i have a prince charming LOL... i still have my photos of me wearing some of the princes in the fairytales and i also have the photos of the princes and me in the fairytales in disney land... i love it!

Grimble! It was written by Clement Freud and I was obsessed. I'd finish reading it once and then start reading it again right away. I loved Dr Suess books too, and The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

wow! Let me go into my wayback machine lol. So many favorites. My favorite books as a kid were The Berenstein Bears, Dr. Suess, and this story called the Magician's Room. I also loved this big children's bible my grandma got me as a kid which had some beautiful illustrations. I cannot recall the full title but it was a big book. I liked reading Goosebumps when I was about 4th or 5th grade. I was very interested in Aesop Fables and the West African Folk Tales stories that dealt with Anansi the spider and Mr Minu. I was a big fan of Mythology also and since I was a little kid back then I used to think Pegasus and unicorns were real. Wow, Memories for real. Great question!

When I was a child I loved the Ramona books. Do you know what I am talking about? My mom used to read them to me everynight before bed and I would fall in to Ramona's world. It was so much fun. Now my mom and I both read them to my daughter everynight. It is nice to be able to read them again and share them with my little girl.

i love cinderella. i love to read it, i love watching it on cartoons. i've seen the movie interpretations of it like "Ever After". I so love cinderella even up to now.

Hansel and Gretel was my favorite childhood story book. Kind of a child horror. I am a horror fan to this very day. They just don't do very many bone chilling horrors anymore.

My fave book was... Spanish Made Easy for Beginners. waaaaaaaaaah?! Until now, I'm still not well-versed in spanish. and that's 15 years later.

I loved Robinhood, we were read to a lot when I was a kid. No TV and very little radio. I know I was born in the dark ages. But when the stories were read to me I always had a wonderful movie running in my head.

i was fond of short stories. at first were fairy tales then abridged legends. i wasn't really given that much access to books aside from school libraries. i loved short story collections like children's treasury and all... i forgot the title of the book though

The Last Unicorn. I saw the movie and fell in love. And when I saw the book in the local library, I immediately decided I simply needed to read it. And I did. And fell even more in love. And I am still pretty much in love with it, actually. If there was a list of things in my childhood that helped define how I think about various things, I think this is one of them. I think there are a lot of things that I missed about the book during my first read, considering I was too young and the book was too smart, but I would like to think I got the gist of it. Especially when the Unicorn said it was okay if she knew about regret because she knew about love as well. And while The Last Unicorn was part fairytale, I think this is the type of fairytale that I like. And perhaps my fascination with fairytale stories can be traced to this. :)
