I had a thick book of nursery rhymes. Over time it has lost it's cover, moved from Oregon, Arizona, Washington back to Oregon and been with me forever!

I still have it.

I enjoyed reading it to my kids when they were small.

MomToMany replied: I have 2. Richard Scarry's Big Book Of Everything, Which I still have. The other one had nursery rhymes in it. I don't have that one anymore . Not sure what the name was, but it was big & red, and it had Goldilocks & the 3 bears in the middle of the cover. I wish I could find it !!

Josie83 replied: I loved Funnybones by the Ahlberg's when I was little. And the Topsy and Tim book, my sisters and I LOVED those!! Anyrthing by Roald Dahl when we got a bit older too. xx

TeagansMom609 replied: Well when I was real little I liked a book called, "The Curious Little Kitten". But I remember when I was 7 or 8 I really liked, "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark". LOL

ediep replied: I used to make my sister read "Are you my mother" and "The best nest" about 1 million times!!!

mckayleesmom replied: Where the Sidewalk Ends and Alexander And The Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day..

JessC replied: I like "Is your momma a llama?"
and then "Chicca Chicca Boom Boom" LOVED THOSE!

mammag replied: This might age me but I really liked the Frog & Toad books and "And I Mean It Stanley". I also loved the Shel Silverstein books because the lady from the local library used to come to our school and read them to us and she did such a wonderful job. She really made me love books. I should go to the library there and see if she still works there (she did the last time I was there) and thank her.....

Celestrina replied: The series of books I read so many times I lost count was The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

mom21kid2dogs replied: My mother's book of Grimms Fairy Tales~LOVED that book. I always loved reading Dr Suesss to my younger sibs & now Olivia. The Foot Book is my fav of his, I think. When I got bigger, I loved the Nancy Drew Mystery Series. I still have the complete set of those.

mom2tripp replied: I remember loving The Babysitters Club when I was about 9-10 and Ramona Quimby

MomToMany replied:
OMG, I loved the Babysitters Club books too! And there was a Cheerleaders series too I remember reading in Junior High.

DansMom replied: I remember really liking the Dr. Seuss collection that contained The Pants With Nobody Inside Them. There's another story in that collection where two characters are on a walk and end up face to face. Neither one will budge, and eventually life goes on around them, a highway is built, etc. I loved that!

At an older age, I adored Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass, and the Little House books. I read those multiple times throughout my childhood.

TANNER'S MOM replied: The Box Car Children.. I think I read everyone..

Anything by Judy Blume.. Fudge etc

I loved WHere The Side Walk Ends too..

The Lion Witch and the Wardore..too

You know my children have read all of these books..but they all gave me the great love of reading.. I can remember reading Hello God Its Me Margeret! And thinking..hey this is me!

Life changing for me !

I loved Judy Blume....

Who could ever forget the book "Forever".... it was so "Taboo" to read when I was younger.

I love this..... memories are wonderful everyone!

My2Beauties replied: I like that one book called I did it all by myself, and I also had a read-along book, you know the ones that had the tapes that came with them and it beeped when you were to turn the page, my favorite one of those was Bambi I even memorized it!

TANNER'S MOM replied: OH LeaAnn this will date me ..

But I had records.. the little 45's for my record player for story time. I remember Peter Pan and Tinkle Bell would ring the bell when it was time to turn the page..

And I remember my fav record as a child was the Chipmonks .. We would turn them up to whatever was about the 78...it was funny!

Anyone else remember these?

~~AvaMcKaylasMom~~ replied: I remember my mom reading "James and the Giant Peach" to us when we were little. It was always one of my favorites. I was also a huge fan of the "Grimms Fairy Tales".

5littleladies replied: I loved "The Monster at the End of this Book" when I was little.

When I got a bit older it was Ramona and the Babysitters club and really anything I could get my hands on.

And the Chronicles of Narnia too.

Don't get me started on favorite books-We'd be here forever.

ferocity302 replied:
Oh my...... I forgot about the Tinker Bell and Peter Pan records! LOL

I also had the Aristacats and a few others for story time. And Chimpmunks Christmas... we used to turn them up too.

Oh this is a blast remembering all these.....

kel replied:

redchief replied: A silly book called, The Mouse and the Motorcycle. A mouse learns to ride (and magically run) a toy motorcycle belonging to a little boy. Hair raising and fun adventures on the open house.

kit_kats_mom replied: how could I have forgotten EB White books? Trumpet of the swan, Stewart Little, charlottes web?

I clearly remember reading charlottes web at my grandparents kitchen table aloud while they cooked dinner. My grandpa made me go get their gianormous dictionary to look up the word "just" when it came up in the book. Where she was using it like justice. We then all discussed what justice was and the meaning of it in the story. I was really ticked that he would interrupt my story to do all that but now, everytime I read the story or watch the movie, I remember him when just
pops up.

DansMom replied: Cary, Charlottes Web was the first long book I read all by myself and to myself, when I was 9 years old. Such fond memories. And the first time I cried while reading a book! I'll never forget it. I still to this day, when I find a spider in the house, put it outside with a loving heart. But, I do eat bacon and ham.
