what was your favourite childhood book?
Someone has just sent me "the complete my naughty little sister collection" which is bringing back lots of memories. I also have happy memories of 'we are going on a bearhunt' and 'the hungry caterpillar'. when i got old enough to read alone i was really into Enid Blyton books.
what about you guys?

Dont think its very well known but everytime i stayed over at my nans as a kid she would read it to me as a bedtime story. She let me have her copy of it a while ago, good keep sake to have.
I also read The Famous Five books when i was about 10 i think, loved them
My copy is practically falling apart, I must have read that so many times. I was also really big on the Nancy Drew series for a while, read almost all of them in 2nd grade haha.
The worst witch
The hungry caterpillar
Alfie gets in first
Bread and Jam for Frances
I can't have anything above my bed in case it falls in the night and squishes me flat. I don't think I have the strength of character that ol' Stan had. Motherfucker posted himself! I'd just sit crying flat tears from my flat eyes...once I'd stopped spooking people by turning sideways that is.
I love Flat Stanley!!!
The big give away being that I can still remember them now.
After that I was an Enid Blyton & Worst Witch fiend.
me too, my dad used to read to us before bed and we had the faraway tree and the wishing chair. then i went on to reading the famous five and the secret seven myself.
That's exactly the same as me I used to love mr pink whistle too - quite surreal though I think.
google books is useful for hunting down books, http://www.google.co.uk/search?tbm=bks&tbo=1&q=the+screaming+skull&btnG=Search+Books
also.. where the wild things are by maurice sendak. amazing illustrations
not now bernard - because it freaked me out. a really good example that parental neglect can get you eaten by a monster
5 minutes peace?? .. with the elephants!
the cat in the hat
but martin! by june counsel- about an alien called martin.. my brother is called martin so naturally this was a firm favourite.
the puddle lane series.. with the magicians and the puddle that they looked into..and the cats. amazing. especially http://www.amazon.co.uk/Flying-Saucer-Ladybird-Puddle-Lane/dp/0721409121. i remember they made a tv show of the stories which was also so so cool
all of the beatrix potter books
then in my teenagedom i couldn't stop reading anything by judy blume. tiger eyes was my favourite. and any of the books with fudge in.
