Favorite childhood books?

zoieglowzoieglow member
in 2nd Trimester
What were some of your favorite books your parents read to you as a child? I'm trying to make a list of books to keep an eye out for and it's been fun remembering but I know I'm missing a lot of good ones!

    I have the entire Shel Silverstein collection...so any of them.

     

    Plus, I always enjoyed "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day", "It's Okay To Be Different" and "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie..."

    "Don't forget the oatmeal"  It's about Burt and Ernie going to the grocery store.  Maybe that's where my love of food started.......  I found it at a garage sale a few years ago and still have it!!!

    I loved the Bernstein Bears and all of the Golden Books...Pokey Little Puppy was my favorite along with one about a pig on a dump truck and another about a little girl running errands with her mom. I can picture those two but can't remember the names.

    Ditto on the Berinstein bears books.

    Also loved Cabbage Rose, The Maggie B, Any of the Frances books (Bread & Jam for Frances, baby sister for Frances, etc...) and Shel Silverstein books.

    I still have almost all my old books from when I was a kid so I get to recycle them for my children :)

    I loved the Poky Little Puppy, the Frances books (like "A Bargain For Frances) and some book called April's Kittens.  (Not real helpful because I don't remember the author, but it had the most beautiful charcoal drawings.)

     I'm feeling the slightest bit bad because my poor kid is going to be pretty deprived.  I hate Dr. Suess (have my entire life) so I will not be buying a single one.  I guess I will let DH read the ones that are given to us, but I fully intend to avoid them the best that I can.

    We have started our collection with Dr. Seuss classics, Shel Silverstein's Giving Tree, Light in the Attic, and Where the Sidewalk ends, and each of our favorites from Childhood - mine is But No Elephants by Jerry Smath, his is The Tawny Scrawny Lion.  He also got Fox in Socks as a favorite as well.
