Hi all ![]() I thought I'd start a thread on classic books and storries we loved as kidlets... Here's two of my faves... ![]() and ![]() Of course, Dr. Dolittle was a whole series of books and I read them all. Homer Price told the adventures of a young boy who ran into all sorts of interesting situations. The Dolittle books are charmingly English to the extreme. The Homer Price Books.. I think there were only 2 or 3 of them were distinctly American in sensibility. I loved them both. Rachel

I loved the Little House books when I was a kid. Read them over and over again. Never liked the tv show though. It wasn't the same as what was in my head and didn't follow the books. |

Hmmm, don't rightly recall reading "kids" books when I was little. I was reading 1984 and Frankenstein when I was like 9 or 10 years old. Before that I used to devour technical manuals and old sci-fi comics. |

Use to read "the Little House on the Prarie" books, in fact, I have three of them here in my home. Also read "Curious George" the cute chimp story. The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew mysteries. A lot of biographies of famous people of long ago. Encyclopedia Brown, the boy sleuth. |

My favourite book as a child was "The Brambley Hedge Stories" It was about different families of mice and their lives in the Hedgerows. The book I had was the Stories about the four Seasons - one story for each season - Spring, Summer, Autumn (fall) & Winter. It's a completely British and asbolutely beautiful book, the illustrations in it are amazing! I still have the book and will treasure it forever.

I remember saving my money up to buy 'Trek novels. Used to get them at a little bookstore in town. Run by the nicest elderly woman you could ever meet. |

I also used to read "Spot the Dog" books. They were and still are fantastic books. My 3 year old Neice loves having books read to her and my mum still has a few books that were mine when I was that age, I now read them to my neice and my mum says it's so strange to see me & her sat reading them when she used to read them to me when I was that age. It's nice to finally have a member of the family that loves reading & books as much as I do and especially at the age she is. I took her into my favourite book shop the other week and the look on her face was fantastic. I don't think she's ever seen so many books!

That is so great Lus. I've always loved bookstores. I think they are filled with romance mystery and adventure (pardon the pun). I loved the little fim 84 Charing Cross Road with Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins. It's a dream to visit a London bookstore or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5.... :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat: Rachel

I still have several old books kepted from when I was a little girl. I still have my Little Red Riding Hood book. Some of those old books were from the late 1960s to early 1970s and I still have them!!! They would be worth it now, I am sure. |

I don't really remember reading kids books, when I was young. First thing I remember reading was The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings, when I was twelve. |
