i was trying to remember books that i loved when i was young, so that my children could enjoy them too. i recently read them "the mouse and the motorcycle" and "snot stew" because i enjoyed those when i was a kid. if you have any other suggestions please let me know.

that's crazy because just the other day I went to my mom's and got a box of my old books I used to read as a child. I noticed some of the things I used to read and noticed I had a lot of "Baby-Sitters club" books and a lot of ghost stories, or teen age growing up stories. I will have to sit down and read a few of them on a bored day. My favorite author I could tell was Betty Ren Wright. She had great ghost mystery stories.

my daughter is only four and though she can read, she can't read that good yet, so i like to read her books every day. she loves ghost mystery stories as long as they are not too scary. i guess because her favorite cartoon is the scooby doo series.

I liked Sideways Stories from Wayside school, Anne of Green Gables, The Secret World of Og, The Book of Three, A Wrinkle in Time, The Middle Moffat, Meet the Austins, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh, and the Dragonriders of Pern books, to name a few.

There are quite a few good kids books out now: The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo, Holes by Louis Sachar, etc.

well, when I was really young it was McElligot's Pool, Thidwick the Big Hearted Moose, the Horton books, Scrambled Eggs Super and Green Eggs and Ham.

When I was a bit older, Charlotte's Web and the first Boxcar Children.

Since I was a horsie girl, I moved on to Walter Farley's Black Stallion books and, in fact, any horse book I could find.

Does this help?

Oh, I forgot the Oz books.

yes, this helps, i have added them to my library list. i've already read her charlotte's web. it was one of our first reads, and we've read it like 10 times since. but i did forget about black stallion. thanks alot.

For me it was "The Hundred and One Dalmatians" by Dodie Smith. I must have read it a hundred and one times!

The Disney adaptations are awful.

i know. my daughter prefers to read all the disney books, and when i start to read something of the same story but different book, she gets all confused like i am butchering the story.
