Childhood Book

[megs2911]

In this current time, I am simply wondering a basic question. Feel free to answer. If you'd rather post a lot of something else, go for it. If you want, post something random or maybe even your own question.

What was your favorite childhood book?

Are You My Mother?

there was also a shelf in the library with all these autobiographies of people like the lady that started Hull House and the lady that started kindergarten, and Louisa May Alcott.. it was a whole series... and I started at one end of that shelf and read as many as I could until we moved away. I may have read very nearly the whole shelf. In some ways I had a head start on the rest of the class when we started learning about Helen Keller and stuff.

i read too much. I liked all the Little House books. Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates. Watership Down. A Little Princess. The Jungle Book (a collection with Rikki Tikki Tavi and other Rudyard Kipling). Little Women and Little Men and Jo's Boys and other Louisa May Alcott books. I can't even remember all the books I've read. I had a friend who made a list one time of all the books she's read, and she reads a fair amount.
There is no possible way I could do that.

I was a fan of books about mice too. Have you ever read A Rat's Tale?
oh i liked a book called Beauty, it was about beauty and the beast, but not the exact fairy tale and not the disney version.

but Are You My Mother? was my original favorite, the one you make your poor mother read 10 bazillion times and then you memorize all the parts so she cant skip any and then hold upside down and "read" to yourself when your mom is too busy with your 2 little sisters to read you a story anymore.

I liked O Henry a lot too when I was about 9 or 10. I just didn't understand it all.

i love rudyard kipling. he's still one of my favorites.

as far as jungle book, disney didn't quite follow the story. that was a little shocking at first.
