What was your favorite childhood story?

Question

mine was Princess and the Pea and Harold and his Purple Crayon

Answer 1

Horton Hears a Who by Dr. Suess.

Answer 2

I have a few:

Where the Wild Things Are
The Trumpeter Swan
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

and all fairy tales with a princess involved

Answer 3

When i was a child my mother gave me 'Disney's 5 minute Princess Stories' and i found it to be imaginative and engaging, thus began my introduction to the author Liza Baker. I thoroughly enjoyed the delightful 'Harold's books: 'Under the sea' and 'Dinosaur Days'

I continued the tradition and passed them along to my nephews and nieces...recently i gave the girls 'I Love You Because You're You", also by Baker --- she's such a good author and she helped make my childhood happy.

Answer 4

I enjoyed reading "The Dick and Jane" books as I learned how to read in Pre-K. I don't remember any books in my childhood classrooms besides those! (I'm in my 50's).

As I got older I read Carolyn Keene a lot and Marguerite Henry books.

Now, as a librarian, to younger students I love to read "Goodnight Moon" and the "Runaway Bunny". I have a lot of fun with "Little Bunny Foo Foo" and any fairy tales. I also like "The little old lady who swallowed a fly" by Simms Taback.

Answer 5

1) Where The Wild Things Are (ISBN: 0060254920)
2) Lion, Witch & .... (not because of Disney)
3) The Hungry Catipillar (for young kids)
4) Dr Suess books are Ok , but silly some do have hint "save the world" stuff in there which is good to teach.

Stupid FACT: Green eggs & Ham was written over a $50 bet that Dr. Suess WON!!! Said it would be a best seller. He just didn't hit best seller, but change children's books for the better!!!
**********************************************************************
Really depends on the age level??? I have favours in them all!!!
I really read hundreds of books. Yes hundred maybe thousands of books growing up.

Your best bet is the Gold Seal books (in Canada)
