what was your favourite book when u used to be a child?

Apart from sleeping beauty, princess and the seven dwarfs etc., there was a monthly children book called chandamama (moon), which is coming even now in many languages, which used to contain many children stories. Some were serial stories too. Those days many magazines were not there and to my knowledge, this was the only children magazine that was coming then. Whenever I see the book in stands, I go to nostalgic memories.

Well when I was a teenager I love reading especially during School Break Its like I can finish reading the whole set of 30 books in one moth my favorite book is Hardy Boys. I did not buy them but I just borrowed from our neighbor who is collecting them.

Hi alilin28, Yes I can remember the books that I loved reading as a child. My favourite book was 'LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD','SNOW WHITE AND SEVEN DWARFS','TREASURE ISLAND'. I still have them in my book shelf. Even now I find pleasure reading them sometimes.

Hello alilin, i have read some books when i was a kid and the best book that i have ever read was the "Lion KIng" i got addicted by reading it every single night. because i wanted to watch the whole movie, which i did a few weeks later, it was one of the best stories that i have ever read at that time

During my teens, I used to read love story pocketbooks. Eventually, I became a HUGE fan of Sidney Sheldon. Have a collection of his books. Now, it's John Maxwell and Francis Kong

Well when i was small i used to read those moral stories, i think they were called Aesop fables :) and now when i remember it i laugh. But later on i started reading Sydney Sheldon books and ya have also read the harry potter series.

when i was a child, i love reading all sorts of books. i read both english and chinese books. for english books, i love the nancy drew series. i believe i have read every single nancy drew book. for chinese books, i enjoy the comic 'lao fu zi', a cynical take on life. i also enjoy 'ah fan ti', a series of books on a clever but poor man who takes jabs at the rich. i only read the little prince when i grew up and i don't really understand it. guess it's best read as a child first then re-read as an adult.

hi alilin28 when I was a kid I loved The Wizord of Oz, the Secret Garden, Little Women, Jo's Boys, and Alice in Wonderland plus almost all of Louisa Mae Alcott's books. those are all in storage now until we are able financially to get back into an apartment. long story but for now i am here in Gold crext a retirement center.

as a child i like the condensed disney movie book versions and billy goat's gruff and sinba the sailor. i like them a lot

My favorite books as a child were Black Beauty and Flicka. I was a country girl who loved horses. That was more than a half century ago. Who knows what happened to those books. I moved on to romances and mysteries. My mother probably gave the books to a neighbor's child or one of my younger cousins, but that's just a guess.

I have always loved to read. My first book was an encyclopedia and the second a bible. Strange reading material, I know, but after that I could read anything..lol..I loved these books that I found at the library that were Choose Your Own Adventure books. They were awesome! I could read the same book three times and get a different ending every time. I don't have them but I did find a few at the library where I live now. I introduced them to my youngest daughter but she's not as much of a fan as I was..lol.

Way before Tolkien was ultra-mainstream, I was reading him. As a child, I especially loved "The Hobbit". I read it again about two years ago - found it to still be a favorite! He's a great writer and easily casts his fantasy land into the reader's imagination. If you've never read any of his books, I highly suggest doing so! They're even better than the movies.

My favorite book when I was little was Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. I know every word to this day! My mom used to come in a read my class books and I always had her read that one! I'm not sure why it was my favorite but it was. I enjoyed poem and rhyming books as well. I still have Chicka Chicka Boom Boom actually. It's packed away with some of my other childhood toys!

i remember i used to read a collection of fairytale books like Cinderella, frog prince, lion king, sleeping beauty and so on. i got them from my aunt as a gift i loved reading over and over, i think i still got them somewhere

Green eggs and ham, loved that book Also McElligot's Pool and Scrambled Eggs Super and Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose

I remember both of those. I loved the Oz books myself. My favorite was probably "The Emerald City of Oz". Can't get my kids to read them. :-(

There were so many different books that I loved when I was a child that I would find it to be impossible to pinpoint a single book that was my favorite when I was a child. One of the books that I have the most memories of is an old book that is called The Hole Book it was an antique when I was a child and my mother still has that book at her house to this day. Then when I was a little bit older my favorite books were The Boxcar Children series and then The Babysitter's Club Series.

I've heard about The Little Prince, but I don't think I've ever actually read it (or had it read to me). When I was a kid one of my favorite books was Where The Wild Things Are. I remember the illustrations so well; my parenst used to read me that book all the time. I also loved the Arther, Clifford the Big Red Dog, The Littles and Boxcar Children books. And I remember these picture books that went "Brown bear, Brown bear, what do you see?...I see a Green Crocodile looking at me...Green Crocodile, Green Crocodile, what do you see?..."- I loved those, too.

My favorite book as a child was "The Bridge to Terabithia." I used to read it over and over and over again when I was about ten years old. I don't have this book in my collection, but I know it's still on the shelf at my parent's house if I want to take a gander through it again. I heard the movie wasn't too great which is kind of a disappointment. I can't bring myself to watch it if it's bad.

My favourite was called the wishing chair again. It was the second book about 2 little children and a chair that could fly you wherever you wished. My brother had book 1 and I had book 2. In the story,the children had a shed in the garden where they kept the chair and a friend who was a pixie that looked about 4 years old in the pictures but acted rather like an adult. I loved how they could sit in the chair and wish for their adventure and the venues were very imaginative; the land of sweets or the nursery rhyme world,that sort of thing. It was similar in places to Harry potter but for much smaller children.
