White Fang and the Albert Payson Terhune books about his collies (Lad: A Dog, etc.). I also read James Herriot's books many times. Those were middle school/high school era. When I was really little, before I knew how to read, my favorite books to have read to me was Puddleduck and The Poky Little Puppy ;).

"The Secret Garden" cannot remember who wrote that, but I loved that book, and also the 'Famous Five' By Enid Blyton, I then went on to romantic novels mostly about Nurse's, I always wanted to become a Nurse and nearly did, medicene runs in my blood, that was in my teenage years I read these novels, my fantasy being to become a nurse and fall in love with a handsome Doctor lol. :)

My absolute favorite childhood book was "My Icky Picky Sister". It's out of print and I very badly want a copy of the book, If anyone has a copy of that book and is willing to sell it, I'm very interested in buying it.

I forget the exact names but there are numerous Little Golden Books that i'd sit and read everynight when I was little, little. There was one when I got a bit older that I LOVED. I forget the name but it was about a boy who turned anything he touched into chocolate because of his addiction.

Angus books (he was a Scottish Terrier), there is very little reading in them. I remember when I was very young they were the books I always took out of the library.

Charlotte's Web...Jeeter, Mason, and, the Magic Headset...the Sweet Pickles books...Pink Pig...the Oz books...Anne of Green Gables and the rest of the Anne books...there are a lot more, but, their names elude me!
Francis books...she was a possum, or porcupine or something...dang it, I can't remember the name...but, there's a photo of me as an infant on my dad's chest, and, he's reading one of them to me. :) Something about a tea party or something...dang. I'll have to ask my mom!

Also Freddy the detective about a pig and the farm yard freinds that solved crimes. Lost all of them in a flood afew years back haven't found any where.
The secret garden was great oo Hitty her first hundred years The old one not the reprint that is a picture book that came out recently.

Oh boy. I was SUCH a bookworm growing up, so I don't know where to begin.
As a child, I LOVED the Berenstain Bears, Magic School Bus, Sideways Stories from Wayside School, Arthur Books, Curious George, Clifford the Big Red Dog, and so many others. I think I may have read almost every book for children in the library. I also loved reading religious books for children...stories of the Prophets, etc. I loved the Little House series. I loved the Yearling. There were so many books that I used to read. Seriously...I could not live without books when I was a child. The internet changed that...I still love books, but nowadays, I find myself reading things online way more than sitting down with a good book. :o

A Woggle of Witches by Adrienne Adams. I used to check this book out of the library EVERY week and then a couple of years ago my mom found it for me and bought it. I was very excited!
Where the Wild Things Are - I found a T-Shirt at Target with this title printed across the front and it's my FAVOURITE t-shirt! I bought this book for myself for about $3 at a record store of all places - how strange!
I loved all the Dr Seuss books and all the Cabbage Patch books - did anyone read those? My all time favourite author is Judy Blume.. I've read and have collected all of her books as well :)

Ohhhhhh, those were the favorite books for my son when he was little (is 20 now). The books about "Spot" didn't exist here yet then, but an English friend send us two "Spot-books" . Oh my, I think I read him thos a million times! His favorite was that with animals hiding :)
My favorite books: I loved all kind of ferrie-tales, like Snowhite, and all stoties from Andersson and Grimm :)
