Favourite book or books as a child

White_Dragon

Hi all,

Sorry if this question has already been asked in the forums. I was thinking about some of the books I enjoyed and treasured from my childhood, what are some of the books that are stand out to you?

Fiction books - pre teenage years - Fantastic Mr Fox (I was obsessed with this book, no idea why really?), Frog & Toad, there was also a scratch and sniff book about a country mouse, day of a dog written like a diary, Teenage years - Dragonlance books & Lord of the Rings

Non fiction - pre teenage years - not sure of the title but it was a big book on dinosaurs, used to love copying drawings of them, various historical books about ancient civilisations, I can't recall their names but used to like get them from the library. Teenage years - Normans...always had a big thing for the Normans, more Roman stuff really.

Would love to hear about some of the books that you remember with fondness

  • Small child - The Rainbow Fish, Kipper - I loved Kipper, especially the story about his basket. The Gruffalo, amazing! Knew every word, although I wasn't actually a small child when it was publishedThinking

    I read a lot of old books that were in the house, so not typical - not so many new books. A Series of Unfortunate Events - I liked those. Slight smile
