I was so happy to see it, I bought it. I also love "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and any other book by that author.
So what are some of your favorite childhood book you can remember?
When I was a kid, my Aunt bought me a giant book from the Museum of Natural History with these amazing pictures and descriptions of all of the dinosaurs, especially the marine ones. It was beautiful.

"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be."
*nostalgic whimper*

I also had a bedtime story with a compilation of tales, and I really liked the story of Persephone.
Most depressing children's book?
What is the name of that one about the boy who has a stuffed animal who got thrown into the garbage because the boy was sick and the Mom thought it would reinfect him. Book made my MOM cried every time she read it to me. XD
reading "stuffed animal" reminded me of this book, another of my childhood favorites:Quote:

Hahah, I loved that book. And that bear reminds me that I really liked Paddington the bear as a child, because it taught me the word "stowaday" when I was 7 which I thought was the coolest.

What a sad book!
The first time I ever heard of the phrase 'Velveteen Rabbit' it was furry hentai.
Cue my confusion when Jess mentioned how she liked it as a little girl.
My favorite book as a kid was this space encyclopedia kind of thing. It wasn't for toddlers or anything, it was for like 10 year olds or something, but I did not care. I loved it and I read it constantly and I learned all the big words.

this book had a sad ending cause the little bear loses his friend ;_;

I read that book so many times
Winnie the Witch 4eva. Also Each Peach Pear Plum. Also Hairy Maclary + co. Also the Little Grey Rabbit series. I had a poem collection called A Child's Garden of Verses which I quite liked. And the Jolly Christmas Postman. And the Cat in the Hat! And the full Beatrix Potter collection, and Alice in Wonderland(&sequel), and Hans Andersen's fairy tales collection. Those are the ones that stand out in my mind from when I was a brat.
OMG and can't forget It Was A Dark and Stormy night. I gave that book away and I regretted it immediately :( Love the Ahlbergs.

It was the saddest book EVER!!! T_T
"Where the Wild Things Are" was a good book when I was a kid. Also, lots of fairy tales (Brothers Grimm and H.C. Andersen) - liked the ones with something twisted in them.
Other than that I loved to look in books about ghosts and ancient Egyptian culture (i.e. mummies and stuff).
Yeah, had the animated version of that on tape... I remember never wanting to watch it because it was pretty sad.Quote:

Absolutely anything Dr. Seuss is pretty much fantastic. Where The Wild Things Are, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Berenstein Bears, the If You Give A... books, um... can't really remember many others. Those were all pretty fun books though as I recall.
I always really liked The True Story of the Three Little Pigs but I think that's for slightly older kids. It's a really fun and quirky book though.
A book about some kids living in a forest full of blueberries, and a book about a family living in a hat and then the hat burned down, which was very sad. I'm sure it ended well though.
I liked Dr Suess' Wacky Wednesday a lot!
nothing else matters. this is all that matters to me. we must be sole mates.Quote:
