Favorite Books when you were a kid?

[Anna Corinne]

This might already exist, but I didn't feel like sifting through the massive amount of discussions. 

When I was a kid, I almost exclusively read Pippi Longstocking books by Astrid Lindgren. 
I didn't broaden my horizons much for a long time, but I read all the Little House on The Prairie books in 3rd and 4th grade. I mainly read school material until 6th grade, which is sad.  But hey! Better late than never!

The Ramona books. I loved them so much. <3

I feel like maybe this was a weird thing to read as a kid cos it seems more for grown ups, but I'll always remember The Little Prince as being one of my main childhood books. 

 

My aunt died when I was 8 and a half, and I know it was one of her favourites. After she passed, my Mum and I used to read it together at bedtime. 

 

...My other favourites were Famous Five  - I wanted to be George so bad!!

When I was really small my dad read the Famous Five to me. This might be an exclusively British/Ireland thing (and really old there anyway) because Canadian friends had no idea what this is ("What, fat English kids who ate all day and solved mysteries? What?") but I rather loved them at five... After that, at six, Harry Potter took over for ten years. But I also loved Goodnight Mr Tom (who am I kidding? Still do) and Roald Dahl books, particularly Fantastic Mr Fox.

Also: The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, Tom's Midnight Garden, Charlotte's Web, The Sheep Pig, Daggy Dogfoot and other such things.

As a kid, I didn't branch out much in my reading. I stuck to authors/series that I knew and loved. I'm pretty sure I read every single Boxcar Children and Magic Tree House book. The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster was (and still is) one of my favorites. I was a big fan of the Redwall series, by Brian Jacques, The Dark is Rising series, by Susan Cooper and a couple classics: A Little Princess and The Secret Garden. 

Oh and of course, Harry Potter :)

I didnt really start rreading untill I was around ten-ish. I had a bit of a learning dissability that just made it way to hard for me to consintrate for that long. Lucky for me I had an amazing older sister that would read to me( she actualy read the first Harry Potter alowed to me). I LOVED the Mrs. Pigglwiggle books. I also had a 3rd grade teacher that read us The Sideways stories from Way Side School. When I finaly started to read on my own I liked Mr. Poppers Penguins, The Magic Tree House and 100 Dresses. But my all time favorie then (and still now) is Ella Enchanted.

When I was six my brother read the first HP book aloud to me ^_^ It's actually what got me into reading in the first place (I like to say he created a monster :P)

Older siblings -- fab, right? :D

[Nicole-Angelique Torres]

I really loved Jane Eyre and the Rowan of Rin series. I can remember some other books that I loved too, but I can't remember their titles. :( :))

Michael Morpurgo is an amazing author, loved his books. Never got around to Private Peaceful, though. I loved Kensuke's Kingdom.

[Nicholas William Cook]

When I was little I loved the book Tikki Tikki Tembo. The name was just fun to say! - Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo. When I was in grade school I read a lot of Ramona Quimby. In middle school I really got into V.C. Andrews books - especially the Dollanganger series with Flowers In The Attic.
