What were your favorite books as a child?

[benbo]

I liked the Hardy Boy's but I'm pretty old so I don't even know if they have them anymore.

Strangely enough, I also loved reading Boy Scout Merit Badge Manuals. They were think little books, like Cliff's Notes, on almost every subject imaginable.

Where the Sidewalk Ends

Babysitters Club Series

Choose Your Own Adventure

All Dr. Seuss Books

There are a couple that I read every now and again to my son that creep me out. The Happy Man and His Dump Truck is one of them. I'll try to scan it some time but the last page has the Man in a purple tank top with a flower pin and he's posing in a weird way. He looks like Boy George or something.

:ghey:

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I should be more specific. I like the Hardy Boys Books

After reading the comment about Boy George I figured I didn't want anyone getting the wrong idea.

Wow! The woman who wrote The Burning Bed also wrote one of my childhood favorites, Arty the Smarty.

My wife picked up this book for my 3-1/2 year old at the library last week. It is awesome, definitely one of my favorites. You get to talk like a pirate for 40 pages.

I had one book:

but at least I was read to every night.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

Kinda along the same lines....

I haven't seen it and can't believe it's not listed yet...

Where the Wild Things Are

And I saw a preview a few weeks back at a movie, where they're coming out with a movie...

Would anyone really say goodnight to a bowl of mush? I've wondered that since I was three or so.

The Giving Tree... now that I'm older it's still my fav book.

Lord of the Flies

The Yellow River by I.P.Daly

Brown Spots on the Wall by Hoo Flung Doo.

 

[Chucktown PE]

Worst book ever: Rainbow Fish

I'd like to kick the piece of shit, socialist, lard ass that wrote that book in the nuts (assuming it was a dude that wrote it).

My son's preschool read that book last week and had a Rainbow Fish themed week. I damn near had a heart attack when I heard about it. I assume they did shit like redistributing school supplies and having communal lunches.

How do you really feel about the book?
