what is your favorite childhood book,and why?

Question

The one that brings you comfort and the one that was read to you as a child.

Answer 1

I wouldn't say any book brought me comfort, but in my junior high days I enjoyed the Baby-Sitter's Club. I didn't have a fave character back then, but now as I think about it, I think maybe Mary Anne Spier's my fave because she was sensitive and into other people's feeling's. I envy Dawn's happiness with health food. I could identify with Mary Anne's having a strict father, as I had strict parents. Shoot, my mother didn't let me wash my own hair and didn't let me wear it down until I was out of high school. Shoot, I was 20 when I finally got to wash my own hair. And I always wanted to do it myself! Like Jessie, I do have a brother, only, I'm the much younger one.

Talk about bringing back good memories of books, thanks SO much. I needed a break from feeling the blues from something. This question brought me comfort! You made my day! I felt like crying about something BIG time, and couldn't stop the tears, but answering this question, ah, now those tears vanished and I got the BIGGEST smile on my face. I love Yahoo! Answers! (well, when it comes to good quality stuff, anyhow!)

I also loved 13 and Loving It, and SuperFlirts. Key To My Heart, another good one.

When I was a teen in high school, I gotten more into Sweet Valley High. I'm more like Elizabeth Wakefield. I wasn't as brainy as she was, but I did make several honor rolls, and in my sophomore year, I did make a point of doing all my homework each night, even if it meant turning some in half done because I needed help on it. I only had a couple close friend, but two things different than me and Liz was that I didn't have her popularity, and I didn't have one steady boyfriend. I was not popular with the guys. And like them, I have an older bro, but he's 9 years older than me. But I do share Liz's passion for writing, however! Myself, I like to do MANY assorted styles of writing. And want to make a career out of it someday.

As a elementary school child, I didn't have a fave. But I did love to read. I even made up my own short novels.

As an adult, I didn't really read, not into adult books too much. But I, a little over 20 years later, still love to write! I only read magazines now.

Sorry for such a long post! I hope I did not put you to sleep!

Answer 2

One of the Dr. Suess books. my grandma would read to me every night, the same story. She had dyslexia and it actually helped her to read to me. Also I would go for travels with her and we would read it. We knew it by heart so we used an "imaginary book" most of the time.
