Do you have a favorite childhood book that is still popular?

The Nancy Drew series, was the books that inspired me to learn to read in the third grade when I was struggling with speech and reading. It's ironic that you post this question as my husband and I just had a conversation about Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys a few minutes ago. I have a long list of childhood favorites , but the top ones are Charlotte's Web, Where the Red Fern Grows, and my first science fiction book was Red Planet. There are many others, mostly silly children's stories and later silly teen romance books, that I was reading when I was 10. Now my fav authors are Stephen KING (my hero) Anne Rice and Dean R Koontz. I read everything however.

I loved Charlotte's We. I cried when I first read it when I was ten and I cried again when I re-read it about a year ago.

Yes, I read lots & lots of Enid Blyton books. The Famous Five, etc. Now my daughter loves them. They are often hard to borrow from a library, so we try to get them from second hand book shops. I even bought an old Enid Blyton book from ebay.

I think my all time favorite child hood book is Where The Wild Things Are. I loved that book growing up and I still love it. My son loves it too. I think it is great to see todays kids reading all the books I grew up with . I also loved The Giving Tree. My son actually knows that one by heart and can tell it to you. He is only 4 so it makes me glad that he has taken such a beautiful story to heart.

Mine was from a real nice author named Judy Blume, who wrote a nice book called "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret" it helped me to prepare for the certain event. Another one that tops the list is "The Diary of Anne Frank" very compelling as well.

My favorite childhood book that I believe is still popular is CINDERELLA and all Disney fairy tales. I love all of them! I also read Sweet Valley, all Sweet Valley books. I'm not sure if it's still out in the bookstores though.

I always loved Nancy Drew. One of my friends at work let me borrow her daughter's "Message in a Haunted Mansion" Nancy Drew game. It is hard! I actually bought Nancy Drew #4 Mystery at Lilac Lodge for a friend's daughter's birthday. I remember it as a particular favorite because of the Blue Pipes. I also loved Shel Silverstein's books. "Lafcadio the Lion" was a favorite. I have read the whole Chronicles of Narnia series too. The Beverley Cleary books and Judy Blume books are still very popular too.

I loved a book as a little kid called 'Robert The Red Rose Horse.' It was about a police horse that was allergic to red roses. Every time he got near red roses he sneezed this enormous sneeze and disaster followed. I don't know if it is still popular now, but it certainly stuck in my mind. I must have been about six or seven when it was my favourite!!!

I was SUCH a fan of Nancy Drew. I even read the mysteries that combined Nacy Drew with the Hardy Boys. When they made a new series out of Nancy Drew like 12 years ago, I was so happy. But they gave Nancy black hair, and no real storyline either. I also read Amelia Bedelia, but I haven't seen those in print. When I was really young, I used to read those Little Golden Books, which are collector's items now.

probably the chronicles of narnia. i was actually surprised they made a movie of it recently.it seemed a bit different from other books of the time.

The Earthsea Trilogy and the narnian Chronicles were both favourites. So much so that my grammar school librarian organized getting me the next one in each series and so on from other libraries so I would always have the next one waiting for me. I shared them with my kids by reading them aloud. I was so thrilled when they came out on movie and they WEREN'T dissapointing. I was braced for the worst and happily surprised!

I loved Bridge to Terebithia as a child and was surprised to see it come up as a movie, one that looks nothing like the book that I remember. I also loved Judy Blume books and I see they are still going strong!

When I was in childhood, I mostly read classics such as Salinger and Vonnegut; of course, since they're classics, they're still going strong. I still reread Catcher in the Rye or Cat's Cradle every now and then. Unless you want to date far back to the days when I read Dr. Seuss; but then again, haven't we all read Dr. Seuss at one point?

Yeah, when I was a little girl, my parents bought me a complete set of MY BIBLE FRIENDS. One of the stories there is about Esther, the Brave Queen. I still have the complete set until now, and I still read Esther's story whenever I have time. My kids have also read the whole set. I actually cherish these books I grew up with.

My childhood was Laura Ingalls Wilder books. I loved the very first book, and the Long Winter. Those books always made me happy.

My favorite was Charlotte's Web and I was so thrilled when they turned it into movie! yay.. =) I also enjoyed Disney fairytales and Enid Blyton books.. I'm not sure if they're still popular among kids though.. But it opened my interest into the fantasy world.. =D
