Favorite book as a child

LOVE (and still do)
Are You My Mother? I wanted it read over and over and over again.

funny story: My best friend and I got caught reading Forever by Judy Blum in 8th grade English class. Talk about horror! The teacher figured out the book had been read by 1/2 of the class and decided to have a 'discussion' about the book for days. OMG. 8th grade girls and boys being forced to own up to reading that book. You should have seen our faces and heard the comments in that class

I would have to say.... Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss - that was so me! Also, most of the Judy Blume books! I read Forever in 5th grade - talk about not having a clue what was going on in the story - I had no idea what the fuss was until a few years later

Judy Blume books were the best but when I was really young I loved Amelia Bedelia bboks. She was such a riot. As as kid and even now they crack me up. lol

When I was very young, my favorite book was There's a Monster at the End of This Book. It was a Sesame Street book. Does anyone else remember it?

Loved, loved, loved The Monster at the End of the Book! My niece and nephew have it-we read it whenever I babysit. They do the same thing that my sister and I did as kids...they yell no! no! don't turn the page!!!

In fifth grade, one of my friends was caught with Forever. When her mom asked where she got the book she blew the whistle on me. Our moms got us all togther for 'the official sex talk'.

I just re-read A Wrinkle in Time, and liked it just as much as I did as a kid.

My all time favorite children's book is Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!!! Oh how I LOVED reading that book over and over again.

Now that I read this thread, I seem to remember The Monster at the End of this Book too!

Re: Favorite book as a child

Teri, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs is still a big crowd pleaser.

I remember enjoying the Beverly Cleary Books with Henry & Ramona, the Little house books and of course Judy Blume. Her books were like a hand book to being a teenage girl.

Re: Favorite book as a child

I also was a HUGE fan of The Monster at the End of this Book. And dow, Iread it to my son every night. He seems to like it too.

After I grew out of the Sesame Street Phase, I was a huge fan of Sweet Valley Twins and then Sweet Valley HIgh.
