I love Encyclopedia Brown -- I can't resist buying them and reading them -- I get tired of all the heavy stuff I read. Anyone else indulge? :yumeh1:

I love Harry Potter with a passion, but I personally don't think the later ones are for children under the age of twelve.

My favorite children's author is Roald Dahl. I've read most of his.

I like a lot of young adult books too, if you could consider that to be children's; teen is close enough, so almost. I honestly haven't read that many books intended for adults.

Dr. Seuss. I don't care how old you are. He pwns the best of them.

Also Where's Waldo? I would get soooo mad when I couldn't find him.

I love Thidwick! :eager:

Purple Green and Yellow.
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
My Side of the Mountain. (I Can never tire of this book)

I Love reading Dr. Seuss to my Neice and Nephew and I have Green Eggs and Ham memorized I've read it so much!

Oh I just remembered another. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. It was fabulous.

I also still love Amelia Bedelia...

I love the Moomin books by Tove Jansson! Also all the children's stories by Roald Dahl and Frances Hodgson Burnett.

Richard Scarry's best story book ever by Richard Scarry. I still own it. <3 Hopefully my future kids will like it as much as I did as a child.

I remember a book I really liked when I was younger that I found in my school's library called "Ordinary Miracles." I don't even recall who the author was now, but I'd like to read it again sometime. I'm pretty sure the public library has it.

I also still like a series I used to obsess over when I was younger called Avalon: Web of Magic and Avalon: Quest for Magic. I haven't read the entire series, though, and I've been a fan since I was around eleven or twelve. xD

Oh, and Winnie the Pooh (the original books, I mean).

I like the Redwall book series by Brian Jacques. They do get a bit monotonous after a while (similar plots throughout the series) but are still a good read.

I liked Harry Potter, I still like it.
I also love C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, and A Series of Unfortunate Events

I also read LOTR as a kid, and I loved it.

Oh, definitely Dr. Seuss, Roald Dahl, and C.S. Lewis.
When my sister was still into things like Amelia Bedelia, Junie B. Jones, and Amber Brown, I would read those when I was bored. Not particularily fond of them, though. Now she's into the vampire hype.

I don't think I have any children's books in my shelf anymore.

I still read Goosebumps and Animorphs..

My favorite is "If you give a mouse a cookie." That book is short has pictures and is a classic and is really funny.

I have the sequel If You Give a Moose a Muffin -- lovely little fable...:vicky:

I love Where's Waldo! And Dr. Seuss!! I still buy Where's Waldo books whenever I see them <3

One of my current favorite books right now came from the kids section. Its the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.





:yumeh1:

I've never heard of that one.

I still love reading the Phantom Tollbooth. I love all the metaphors and the plays on words...a watchdog that ticks even though his name is Tock???? PRICELESS.

I love the Percy Jackson series as well. I started WWIII at my house by bringing the new book home, they are now fighting over who'll read it first.

My favorite kids series is probably the Abhorsen series by Garth Nix.

Roald Dahl is pretty much timeless. As for picture books I love Weslandia, it's such a beautiful and simple book. I don't know many people who have read it, but the more memorable part of it is that giant red flowers grow in a lonely kid's yard.

Has anyone else here read The Little Prince? I think it was written so that it would make equal sense to an adult or a child, but you would learn different things depending on your age.

The Little Polar Bear. It was my favorite series as a kid and the 5 books still line my shelves.

Dr. Seuss is a given! I love him. Also Maurice Sendak and Roald Dahl (He wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matlida, etc) Also like the HP series.....

Colin Dann's Animals of Farthing Wood holds up fairly well as an adult, and if I'm recalling the last time I read it correctly so does Winnie-the-Pooh, but that was some years ago now.
