What's your favorite children's story? Why?

I loved the Secret Garden, it all seemed so magical. I was also a big fan of a book called The Hidden Treasure of Glastonbury which was about a novice monk who uncovers the Holy Grail. Oh! And another one called The Gauntlet which was about a boy who travels back in time to medieval England.It's a good thing I'm marrying a Brit - I definitely have a thing for England!

When I was younger I really enjoyed reading scary stories, which has scarred me for life because now I am deathly afraid of the dark, scary things, ect. But, I really enjoyed the Goosebumps series, I would read those books constantely. Anything that had to do with ghost stories, haunted things, ect, I would find in the library. When I was really little I liked Rainbow Fish and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I cant really pick just one....=)

my favorite book as a little kid was If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. I had that thing memorized! I think it was the first book I could read on my own, except I always stumbled over the word "comfortable".

Secret Garden was definitely one of my favs.  I also remember The Egypt Game & I think I liked them for the same reasons...they were both so magical & really got your imagination working. When I was really little, I loved the "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" book.  I think I liked that one so much b/c I too really like cookies!!

I loved Where the Wild Things Are and The story about Ping stands out.  I was in a Childrens Choice Book Club and I rememberloving all the books, and reading them repeatedly.  Hard to choose just one!

It's Night Night Time - we read it every night before Bed.  It lets me know my day is nearly over too so it's good for Kids and Adults lol

I liked The Boxcar Children series.  I think it's because it's one of the first chapter books my mom read to me before bed.  I also thought it was pretty neat how 4 kids managed on their own.I also liked the Babysitter's Club series!

Fun question!As a child, I had a bunch of small hardcover books sitting on my bookcase in my bedroom:- A series of Bear Stories by Frank Asch (Sand Cake, Milk and Cookies and Popcorn all stick out in my head)- Berentstain Bears- Books written or illustrated by Jerry Smath (But No Elephants, The Clown-Arounds, Henry's Awful Mistake)Sadly, I have no idea where any of these books are.  I think they were lost/trashed when my parents divorced 5 years ago and we had to sell my childhood home.

Goodnight moon was my favorite... i could read that over and over again..~BFF~: did you see that Where the Wild Things Are is being made into a movie! It looks cute!

Good night moon is a classic! My mum got me a library card when I was 6 months old and that was the first book taken out on it.Phoenix & the Carpet and the Five Children and It are some other good ones.

So funny how people mentioned the Babysitters Club series...I collected them all (along with the boxcar children, sweet valley high, and all judy blume books!!) I was obsessed with my book collection...I wanted to keep them for my future daughter! I ended up giving away to my niece instead.  I loooved the bedtime stories my mom would read to me...especially the Rumpelstiltskin story!

There's too many to chose.  I remember collecting the Berenstein Bears books.  I would always look at the back cover (which had all the books pictured there) and i just wanted them ALL.  I actually still remember a lot lessons that were taught in the books.

Tya - I loved the BSC, too!!! My absolute favs are the Betsy-Tacy series by Maud Hart Lovelace. I still have them and read one of them whenever I'm feeling sick or blue....they always make me feel better!
