The Berenstain Bears
by Stan & Jan Berenstain
Okay, so who could resist that lovable bear family! In every book you learned a valuable lesson about life, like sharing, bullying, or manners. I used to LOVE The Berenstain Bears books and we had a TON of them! Here are a few of my all-time favorites:
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
by Laura Numeroff
This was such a cute little story about a mouse who just kept wanting more and more and more. He could have really learned a thing or two from The Berenstain Bears Get the Gimmes!
Love You Forever
by Robert Munsch
My mom used to read this one to my sister and I all the time when we were little! It has such a loving message! I actually have to admit that I picked this up a couple of years back and read it quick and my eyes got all watery! That's how you know it's a good one!
Ghost Writer Series
I had the whole series...and loved the TV Show too!
Where the Sidewalk Ends
by Shel Silverstein
I don't know a single person my age who didn't read all of these growing up! It was my very first little taste of poetry. Fun and light!
Amelia Bedelia
by Peggy Parish
You can't have a favorite childhood book list without everyone's favorite zany nanny, Amelia!
Sideways Stories From Wayside School
by Louis Sachar
Each chapter was like it's own adventure from the crazy school that was accidentally built 30 stories high! There's the kid who can only read upside down, the mean teacher, and the mysterious new kid. I can't help but crack up a little just trying to remember the rest!
The Adventures of Frog and Toad
by Arnold Lobel
I loved reading about Frog and Toad and their friendship!
Little House on the Prairie
by Laura Ingalls Wilder
Another great series - I loved reading the books and watching the show (and still like seeing re-runs from time to time)! I even got the chance to visit one of the historic homes/museums of Laura's Ingalls Wilder on a family vacation when I was a kid!
Other favorites include anything by Roald Dahl, Dr. Seuss, or Mercer Mayer, as well as several Little Golden Books!
What are some of your favorite books from your childhood??
