My little sister did that with Go Dog Go.

I've always been a pretty big fan of The Monster at the End of This Book.  I also read lots and lots of dinosaur books as a child.  Also, Richard Scarry, although looking through those old books as a young adult kind of freaks me out (They're eating chicken but one of them is a bird OH GOD).

BekkahJane24:
Anything by Enid Blyton was great for me as a kid - my mum actually passed hers along to me when I started school. I loved reading The Magic Faraway Tree and Naughty Amelia Jane, Secret Seven and Fantastic Five were just awesome.

Also - Oh The Things You Can Think! by Dr. Suess. A fair few tongue twisters in there for little kids - I love tripping up my own nephews with them these days.

Heck, I still buy "children's literature". When I was about 8 I started collecting the Baby Sitters Club books,   I have almost 100 of them, and okay, some may be doubles, but, if I see them - garage sales, opportunity shops, library book sales, I'll buy them. They were great books for me to "cut my teeth on".

However, one question, what's Horton Hears A Who, about? I've heard mention of it several times (in different circles), and now I'm really curious.

I forgot about that book, but I remember it now! It was awesome. I think next time I'm in a bookstore, I'll pick it up.



If you like either of those two, pick it up.

Hey!

My dad used to read me The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy but I'm not sure that's a kid's book. I used to read Sherlock Holmes when I was in primary school, that was pretty cool. Basically what I am saying is that I was crap at being a child.

blanktom:





basically anything illustrated by Chris Riddell

and Roald Dahl, always.
