margot Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 What books did you really enjoy when you were little?? For me pretty much anything by Tamora Pierce (XD) and Animorphs when I was really young. I can't remember what else. Link to comment

amy Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Frog and Toad The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster Matilda/chocolate factory/Roald Dahl stuff :3 The Wheel on the School by Mendert DeJong (I still love this book) Little House on the Prarie books Books about the solar system >> The Hobbit Frindle (it's about a bunch of kids who get together and call pens frindles it was so cool) Magic School Bus Animorphs and Goosebumps *dies* XD The Wheel on the School is about a school in I think Holland where there are only six students and it's a tiny fishing town and there are no storks that live there, and everyone dreams there would be storks, so they all try really hard to find a wagon wheel and put it on top of the school so the storks can sleep somewhere and it's just written amazingly and I recommend it to everyone ._.

Arcane Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Go Dog Go Green Eggs and Ham All the Where's Waldo books and the many spinoffs his friends had. I think I had this book called Mr. Banana Head that I absolutely loved. And then eventually I got sucked into Goosebumps before finally moving on to start reading "big boy" books like Tolkien and the Dragonlance series. I never got into Animorphs myself. I tried reading one of the books, but I just couldn't do it. Link to comment
Samurai Drifter Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 The Polar Express Dinosaur Dream I still actually enjoy reading them occasionally... when I dig them up. I also really liked all the Goosebumps books, Animorphs, and I still enjoy The Phantom Tollbooth. That book rocked so much. Link to comment
JesusTheNinja Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Theodore Mouse Goes to Sea when I was really young. I read Animorphs for years when I was in Elementary School and maybe a little Middle School. Link to comment

Suga Babe Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Aw man...when I was in Kindergarten I really liked this book titled 'I Like Jam' or something like that...probably because we were told to go read it to random teachers and we got stickers for everytime we read through the entire thing. Other than that...I liked the book 'The Phantom Tollbooth' -- I remember I read it back in Elementary school...I haven't read it since but yeah... Link to comment
Mithrandir Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 The Phantom Tollbooth and The Hobbit have always been my favorite middle-late childhood books. I still read them pretty often actually. Also, "The Lorax" is like the best book ever. Link to comment
amy Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I also loved The Pushcart War which was published in 1964 (my favorite year) and I didn't realize it at the time but is about labor unions and is just extremely interesting, I love all the books that are entirely full of anecdotes. I liked to read books that were full of real stories about survival against all odds, like sailing across the Atlantic in a motorboat, or living through a gigantic flood, or going seventeen months without food, I only could find two or three but I read them over and over transfixed imagining I was there (I wanted to be in the flood because it would be fun to sail across on the water) and thinking how hard it would be or how some of the stories were relatively wimpy. One of the people that sailed across the Atlantic in a motorboat would lick the wrappers of old food for the taste once they ran out of food Link to comment
Natsu Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 The Pokey Little Puppy this book pwnz Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I remember having the Hobbit read to me at, like, two. It's one of my earliest memories, in fact. I also had a bit of the Fellowship of the Ring read to me around 8 years old. And then I read the entire Lord of the Rings when I was ten or so. Goodnight Moon is the shit. And there was this other book that I can't remember the title of it, but it went out of print and I was really sad, so my mom got it from the library and photocopied every page and bound it nicely for me (Aww...) and gave it to me for my birthday. It was about this old woman who lived on a raft and there was something else she did. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Goosebumps used to be awesome, I have a large box filled up with them. Yertle the Turtle is the greatest childrens book ever written. Because he is the king of all he can fucking see. Then Yertle the Turtle was perched up so high, He could see forty miles from his throne in the sky! "Hooray!" shouted Yertle. "I'm the king of the trees! I'm king of the birds! And I'm king of the bees! I'm king of the butterflies! King of the air! Ah, me! What a throne! What a wonderful chair! I'm Yertle the Turtle! Oh, marvelous me! For I am the ruler of all that I see!" There should be a death metal song based on that story. Link to comment
