I know a teacher who still reads that one. It was my favorite as a small child too PF and read to me by an African American first grade teacher.

I loved to read as a child. I was most interested in mystery series. The entire oeuvre of the Donna Parker escapades was a favorite. For some reason the author of that series escapes me.

Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" was another favorite.

As I got older I picked up on some interesting works from Edgar Allan Poe. His was more a poetry offering...but interesting none the less.

I used to love "Rupert" and "Noddy" books when I was a child......they are from England.

Boy stuff, Biggles and Tarzan mainly.

Put me in with the "not-so-politically-correct" group because i read that book to my youngest just the other day. I remember back when i was a kid, that i hated seeing the tigers run around in the cicus ring because i thought that they'd melt

I couldn't remember any childhood books that had a deep impact on me until reading PF's comment...that sent me running down to the basement to check out my first ever All About Story Book, given to me by my aunt for Xmas before my 5th birthday...it contains all the usual kiddie stories, Little Red Riding Hood, Peter Rabbit, etc...but the one story I remember going back to read over & over was the one about the tigers turning to butter...maybe because everybody had a big stack of pancakes at the end of the story
Another book I now remember was a very old copy of David Copperfield, given to me by my other aunt (who was really more like my surrogate grandmother)...at the time she gave it to me, it was really over my head, but it did instill that early appreciation for Dickens that has pretty much lasted a lifetime (so far)...

DOes something by Lois Lowry count? Might be too gender specific...but mom and I used to read those and laugh

In 5th grade we read David Edding's Belgariad series.
