Remember those books teaching us to 'See Spot run' and those making us wonder what Ramona Quimby or Encyclopedia Brown were doing in school that day? I'm sure you're own childhood is full of wonderful books you treasure and remember fondly till this day. Mine will always be Shel Silverstein's collection of poems called Where the Sidewalk Ends. Robert Munsch's Love You Forever comes a close second.

My favourite childhood book was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. I loved it because it was the first grown up book that I read by myself. I liked the picture on the colour as it made the factory look really exciting, and who wouldn't want to own their own chocolate factory! I also have fond memories of some of the picture books we used to borrow from the library - Thomas the Tank Engine, Topsy and Tim and Mr Bear. I read those to my daughters now, because I enjoyed them so much.

Mr. Bear reminded me of 'The Bernstein Bears.' I loved those set of books as well!

You could read Babar the Elephant to your daughters too. My mom read a lot of those to me and they were great.

She's one of the best, but one of the most forgotten in the fantasy world that Disney presents.

There's this book called Hope for the Flowers. It's written by Trina Paulus. It's a deceptively simple story about two caterpillars but its message is touching and full of love. Most importantly, it's not just a children's book because its message appeals to all ages, too.

The colors used in this book used to fascinate me as a toddler. Now that I think about it, the story's really touching.

I used to love the Amelia Bedelia set of books. I just couldn't get enough! My grandparents especially were happy to buy them because they were so pleased I showed such an interest in reading.

Wow, that's pretty heavy reading for a child. I read it once in 6th grade and took that up in philosophy class in college. It taught me a lot on life too.
