What was your favorite children's book as a child? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hawkee · 01-09-2025, 03:11 AM

Growing up did you ever have a favorite children's book that you liked to read all the time? My mom loved the book Love You Forever when it first came out because it's such a touching story about a mother's love and it's such a cute story. I also loved the Little Critter books too and I thought they were funny

Hi Hawk,

One of my favourites is The cat in the hat

I had some Dr. Seuss books as a child too and The Cat In The Hat was one of them and another one I had was Marvin K. Mooney Would You Please Go Now? and that book always made me laugh each time my dad would read it to me

Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham *I used to be convinced that the "creature" in Green Eggs.... is the cat from Cat in the Hat, I'm not totally sure WHAT he even is! lol* Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Squire Squirrel, Henry's Big Mistake, many others

The other Dr. Seuss book I read in school was Fox In Socks and my dad and I liked the tongue twisters it had and we memorized two of them. I also loved Little Golden Books and I bet many of you had The Poky Little Puppy and Tootle about the train because those are classic Little Golden Books

I had many favorite books, but the best was called
"365 Bedtime stories" by Nan Gilbert.
It was a new story for everyday of the year!

Hawkee · 01-11-2025, 02:15 AM

Was the Choose Your Own Adventure series that series where you could choose how you wanted your story to end and then you had to choose what to do next by following a chapter that said things like "To slay the dragon turn to page 5" or "To become a knight turn to page 7"? Those books were pretty popular when I was in school. And I believe they revived that series for a short time with new adventures added

Yes. I was addicted to those books as a child. It always made me nervous to select a storyline because some ended happily and others didn't!
