Aside from SNES games, I read a lot as a child :lol:
I recently bought a bunch of books from my childhood for my 5 yr old niece who's learning how to read atm. She's loving them!
Amelia Bedelia books, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Where the Wild Things Are, Corduroy, The magic school bus books, Harold and the purple crayon, Where the Sidewalk Ends.
She's advancing fast so I think for her birthday I'll get her a few Judy Blume and wayside school ones.

Where the Wild Things Are



Where the Sidewalk Ends



Green Eggs and Ham

I loved (still do) George's marvellous medicine, the twits and the witches! And also had a collection called cassey and the ballet school!! I'd love to get hold of them again. I used to read in bed before i nodded off and my mum would come and take the book off of my head then turn the lamp off lol. I'd love to go back to those times, not a worry in the world lol

Another one of my absolute fav books of all time is To kill a Mockingbird. Brilliant story and so well written.

The enchanted wood and the faraway tree were my favorites as well. I think I still have them in boxes at Mums house, I kept a lot of my favorite ones from over the years. When I got a bit older I loved the sweet valley books, I still have all them and I'm still collecting them now, just need a few more of the rare ones.
