I want to know what was your favorite (school appropriate) chapter book that either you read or was read to you while you were in school?


I loved Charlotte's Web.

Charlotte's Web is one that I really remember being read and loving.

But one of my favorite children's books is one my mother read to me all the time. It was the story of Ferdinand, the bull who liked to sit under the cork tree and smell the flowers.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Probably The Hobbit.

The Home on the Prarie series.

The Giver, but it's more for middle schoolers I guess.....I would read it again if I could find a copy.

LOL ... here's my big confession .... as much as I love writing and reading ... when I was that age, I couldn't stand it, sitting still was not something I wanted to do and interestingly ... I don't remember any teacher ever doing that in a class I took ... maybe I missed out on it in one of the moves from one state to another (there were a couple of those when growing up) ... so even though I love to read .. I've never read (or had read to me) almost any of those type of books (Mark Twain, Robert Stephenson, etc.) So I'm looking forward to hearing all the answers you get in this thread!

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh

There are two more books in that series. If you have not read Gathering Blue, please do.

I have read the first two.......don't remember the names but the whole story left such an impression.....the descriptions and the ending......so enexpected for a kids book.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Hearing that made me a lifelong Twain fan. I also remember Charlotte's Web fondly too though. I guess that's why I read to my kids coming along too. We still share books and portions of books we're reading. I saw a young mother in the Dr's office the other day reading to her toddler. I couldn't help but tell her how well sharing books with my two has turned out. I think it's the best time investment you can make, sharing a good book with someone. If only I could find a woman who loved to curl up with a good book and man at the same time. LOL

OOoo i loved just about anything by Beverly Cleary especially the Ramona books.

and my other fav Author was Judy Blume and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing


Judy also does books for the more "mature" or adult reader....which i found interesting...Summer Sisters ...so i guess that Judy grows with you.

Sounder....I can still see that dog in my mind.After reading the book our teacher showed us the movie.Great story!

The only two stories I recall being read as a little kid was Billy goats Gruff and a book I can’t talk about today. I loved the tigers turning into butter.
