What were yours?

The Spot series




Winnie the witch




mostly because she always had trouble seeing her black cat and kept changing him different colours so she could see him, reminded me of my black cat...who was named after the cat in my other favourite....


The Worst Witch

favorite childhood books hmm..I started reading stuff like JRR tolkien in grade 4, so I'll have to go back before then heh.

The Narnia books for sure...read those in grade 1 and 2. And before that, I was really into the Serendipity books. I didn't read that many childrens books, I skipped right up to the adult reading.

The ones you mentioned Fragility are classics I also loved.............. Avacado Baby

i like Dr. Seuss - The Cat in the Hat

The Cat in the Hat

I don't believe in books, and I never have.

They're real I tell you! REAL!!!

I was a huuuuuge Roald Dahl fan (still am). I also loved the Worst Witch books. I think possibly my favourite things to 'read' were the Asterix comics. I liked Tintin too, but it didn't have same spark as Asterix.

asterix=legend!

Puddle Lane Books, they were great.
Roald Dahl...especially the Twits, Fantastic Mr Fox and James and the Giant Peach

I was very sad to find that in real life there are NO magic potions...

Secret World of Og - Pierre Berton

Pierre Berton is a highly awarded Canadian politcial and historical non-fiction author who wrote this book for his kids (they are the "stars" in the fantasy). It's been largely ignored probably because he wrote it. My college English teacher refused to believe he had ever written children's fantasy and no one else in the class had ever heard of it - sad. Great story about a secret world of strange creatures that live under the kid's playhouse.

Green Eggs and ham and Kahu the Cautious Kiwi

Tintin & Asterix, definitely. I learned how to draw hands from reading Asterix.

I remember reading The Hobbit, and for some reason I would always play stuff like Sky 4 and Holst's The Planets Suite while reading. I cannot think of Tolkien without classical music going through my head.

I also remember being sick with the flu when I was a kid, and my mother went to the library to get me something to read. She brought back Stephen King's The Stand. The first half of the book totally creeped me out cause I was scared I actually had Captain Trips.

I also recall reading a lot of Roald Dahl (Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, plus the sequal The Great Glass Elevator) CS Lewis (the Narnia books) and Enid Blyton (The Wishing Chair series).

Plus, cause I was a kind of shy nerdy kid, I also liked encyclopaedias, dictionaries, Atlases and National Geographic (mostly for science articles about stars and planets and black holes and stuff).

It's a tie between Curious George and the Sweet Pickle books... because they are both my first memories of reading on a regular basis. (My very first book that I can recall was about a Native American girl and her play papoose....but I'll be damned if I can remember anything else about it.)
