Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom was a classic... I remember loving the boxcar children and we still have quite a set. I also got into Animorphs when I was older but I never did get into the Goosebumps thing... Dr. Suess was great too! I think my favorite was Go, Dog, Go!

Sojourner Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle? I discovered books by Chris Van Allsburg when I worked in the children's section of our library one summer -- this is the guy who wrote "Jumanji" and "Zathura." He's got several interesting, beautifully illustrated books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][snapback]784349[/snapback][/right] [/quote] That's my two year old's favorite right now. I could probably recite it by heart. My personal favorite Dr. Seuss story is "What Was I Afraid Of" about the empty green pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And our Children's Theater did a production which we went to see. It was really fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortnun Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 [quote name='Lil Red' date='Nov 9 2005, 05:44 PM']Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books. man i love that woman. i still have those books, too. read them a lot too. [right][snapback]784143[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Oh she was [i]fabulous[/i]. I also read all the Ramona books (Beverely Cleary) and most of the Judy Blume books. [u]Little Women [/u]ranks near the top of my list, but I consider that more of an adolescent book than a children's book. And I love all the 'If you give a.... (pig/pancake, moose/muffin, mouse/cookie, etc)' books. And, [u]The Giving Tree[/u]. My little sister and I had a pile of 'Christmas only' books, and we got to get them out on December 5 (after my Dad's bday on the 4th), and we could have them out until Epiphany. [u]The Polar Express [/u] is a beautiful book I still like to go home and read them. <insert moment of nostalgia here> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 The Best Christmas Pagent Ever. My third grade teacher read that to us and I have loved it ever since. It's our next book for our homeschool book club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortnun Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I can't believe I didn't mention it.... or no one before me had...... ROALD DAHL!!! Matilda, The BFG, James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Witches, ooooooh they were wonderful books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Ooo, I loved The Secret Garden. I read that one more than once, I'm sure. And I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier -- Anne of Green Gables. I read EVERY Lucy Maude Montgomery book ever written, I think.

It was one of my favorites, and now my five, seven, and nine-year-old brothers always ask me to read it to them.

I also loved [i]Are You My Mother?[/i] and [i]Go, Dog, Go![/i] (P.D. Eastman). And then of course, the Little House on the Prairie books, the Chronicles of Narnia, Anne of Green Gables, and really any of Louisa May Alcott's books.
