Default Favorite Children's Books
The kiddie movies thread has gotten me nostalgic. What were your favorite children's books?

I was a big fan of the Baby-Sitter's Club series. I loved all the "Superfudge" books and the Wayside school series. I also liked the Chronicles of Narnia.

I never read Madeline - but the Amelia Bedelia...lol...I had one that I read over and over and over again as a kid...I forget the exact title - but she goes to work for this family cleaning - and "dusts the house" and of course she puts dust all over the house...

Then instead of drawing the curtains - she literally draws curtains on paper....woo - those used to crack me up as a kid....

Then there's one where she teaches school... What great memories...

Oh Bunicula !!!!! and Indian in the Cupboard - both GREAT!!! I'd forgotten about those.

The Chronicles of Narnia - I've thought about going back to read those because I HATED them in fifth grade...but here's why...

I had this old hag teacher with bald spots and corn removers on her elbows....

She read us The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe - but we had to sit completely still - stare straight ahead and not touch ANYTHING!

That was absolute torture as a kid - I wanted to doodle or draw while listening - no - nothing....and as a result I was miserable and I hated the book.....stupid Ms. Williamson....I hated her

What's that one book about the small people with tails? It became a movie with John Goodman, I think. Wuggles. Wiggles. Something like that. I loved that book back in the day.

I used to read those damn Sweet Valley High books too. What was I thinking?!?!

I also liked a book called "Mom You're Fired," and "Frankenstein Lives on the 14th Floor" Those intermediate age books were the bomb! I also used to love this book called, "Nothing's Fair in the Fifth Grade." I was like, yeah, finally some props for my 5th grade peeps!
