bradm Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 Now or then?Actually, my tastes haven't changed much:- Winnie The Pooh - The Cat In The Hat (or most any other Seuss) - the Richard Scarey books - the Robert A. Heinlein juveniles - Curious George* - Beatrix PotterAloha, BRAD (Books Remembered After Decades)* I've even got a couple of the CG fridge magnets (CG sniffing ether, and CG spinning around on a turntable) on the fridge.

Tissue Man Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 I was a fun of bruno and boots books. well anything by gordon korman was good, still is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonberry Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 Hmmmm... I think my favourite was the one in which Grover goes to the museum and has a bunch of fun there. It was good times, but I can't recall the name... It wasn't "There's a monster at the end of this book", though. Anybody else recall it?On the flip side, I hated this really, really bizarre book called 'where do I come from?' all about how babies were born. I mean, it was helpful, sure, but it was a feared, feared book by me. Picture the jolliest, though least attractive people having sex, ala centrefold, all through the thing. Not cool to a young kid who thought girls were icky...And that's my story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybone Posted April 4, 2002 Report Share Posted April 4, 2002 Back in the day my favorite kids book was Oh The Places You'll Go by Dr Seuss. My 2 year old nephew currently can't get enough of There's a Woset in My Closet als by the good Dr. That post on Gordon Kormon was a pleasant reminder!! I loved everything by that guy. Who is Bugs Potter was a personal fav, as was I Want to Go Home. I think I'll reread those sometime soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted April 4, 2002 Report Share Posted April 4, 2002 The Giving Tree.....Shel Silverstein. An absolutely amazing book that everyone should buy for any child in their family. It teaches the real value of life in about 40 lines. It changed my life.Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
