Pre-K to elementary school really....

What were/are your favorite children's books?

Mine were Clifford the Big Red Dog and Biscuit books. I was also a big Eric Carle fan and I still am.

Corduroy is a favorite now, too, because my little cousin made me read it to him a million times every time he visited, haha. Now he's too old to be interested in it. Stupid growing up!

i remember reading the brave little toaster when i was a little kid.

Cuddly Dudley by Jez Alborough and The Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle (of course, everyone has to read this book!) It's falling apart though.

I can't think of any others at the moment.

The Poky Little Puppy!!

I still have it proudly displayed on my bookshelf.

In my early childhood ed class last night we were looking at examples of good book to have in your class library. When I came across The Hungry Caterpillar I stopped and read it while my instructor kept talking haha. I loved it.

Man, I loved the Ramona series of books.
And I'm probably the only 21 year old who still reads Dear America, The Royal Diaries, and the American Girl Books, but I loved them so much then and I still do. I reread books a lot.

AudreyHepburn · 09-30-2009, 04:07 AM

Mad About Madeline

I read it over and over again. I know... it kind of looks like she's giving the finger.

Eloise in Paris

I had all the Eloise books but this one was my favourite.

LostPancake · 09-30-2009, 07:04 PM

Richard Scarry books - i loved looking at the pictures!
Oscar Otter - this otter goes way out into the woods to go on this ice slide, and gets lost at night in the scary woods. i think.
Sylvester and the Magic Pebble - this donkey got turned into a stone. so sad.
Tillie and the Wall - a mouse climbs over a wall and finds all these talking mushrooms. i think.

Brer Rabbit Disney version - love the pictures!
the Little Bear books - great Maurice Sendak pics
James and the Giant Peach - our teacher read us this book in 3rd grade, while we all sat on the floor and made trains of people scratching each others backs.

I never really got Where the Wild Things Are as a kid but the movie does look great.

I liked those books too.

There were a series of books called Elephant Goes to School that I really enjoyed. One of my favorite Dr. Seuss books was The B Book. I was read it over and over again and recite it throughout the house. I still remember some of it.

Big brown bear
beautiful baboon
blowing bubbles
biking backwards

and it ends with...

breaking baby birds' balloon.

You're doing Early Childhood?

How do you like it? Not many education majors here

I like it a lot so far! I'm certain I'm studying the right thing for me. I had no idea how extensive it was but it's pretty interesting.

That's hilarious! I liked all the Beatrix Potter stories, and I had about 40 books about dinosaurs. I loved dinosaurs. There was a time when I could tell you every type of dinosaur, what they ate... pretty much anything.

IcoRules · 10-07-2009, 07:02 PM

I don't really remember reading that much when I was little. I know liked the Where's Waldo? and I Spy books a lot. I also had an Ewok book too that I remember liking. It had different textures in it and scratch and sniff.

merryk · 10-09-2009, 06:36 PM

I loved reading and re-reading the Chronicles of Narnia series as a kid.

I've always been a voracious reader...too many books, too little time!
