Earlier in the week, I shared my favourite childhood book so I thought I would compile a Top Ten list of the books I loved as a child (I do love a Top Ten list):
My son is reading George's Marvellous Medicine at the moment. I remember borrowing most of the Sweet Valley books from the library, as well as Chalet School books (oh my, it's all coming back to me now...) But one of my favourites was Heidi - I own a beautiful copy with tissue paper thin pages. I read it several times just for the feel of it in my hands!
The Animals of Farthing Wood was a cartoon on TV when my son was small - happy memories! My favourite Roald Dahl has to be The Twits, but they are all brilliant! My real favourite was a book called The Growing Summer by Noel Streatfeild. This should be a blog-hop!
I loved the Sweet Valley High books so much when I was a kid :) I think my very favorites were the Little House on the Prairie series. Oh, and both Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden
I loved reading, The Secret Seven and The Nancy Drew books.
ReplyDeleteI only ever had one Nancy Drew book but I read it over and over again.

ReplyDeleteI had a copy of Heidi too (but doesn't sound as lovely as yours). I think my 10yo has it now.

ReplyDeleteIt'd make a fantastic blog hop. I'd love to see everyone else's top tens.
DeleteDefinitely Sweet Valley High books. I loved them when I was younger. :-)
ReplyDeleteMe too. I couldn't get enough of them.
DeleteGreat choices! I also liked Swallows & Amazons - loved the idea of sailing off on a boat, and What Katie Did!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading What Katie Did and What Katie Did Next.
