I loved all of the books by Judy Blume and of course, I had some of the LH books as a kid.

I liked the Raggedy Ann and Andy stories, Nancy Drew, and Cherry Ames books. I wish I could remember the name of this series of books I read that was about the childhoods of famous Americans. I learned a lot from those books.

When I was little I like Beranstien bear books and Amelia Bedelia. (They were so funny, weren't they Savannah!)
When I got older I lked the Little house books and now I'm reading Sammy Keyes series.
There were alot of other books I liked too, like The Little Golden Books.

Hey Lori, perhaps your thinking of the Dear America series or the other one from the same company, I forget what their called...

I liked Dr. Seuss and Winnie the Pooh.

I still like those. The rhyme and rhythm of Dr. Seuss is so fun to read to children. And Winnie the Pooh's wit can be enjoyed even as an adult!

When I was little I thought Dr. Sues was weird but when my sis was little her altime favorite was The Foot Book. I also loved Wonnie the Pooh!

THE FOOT BOOK! Left foot, left foot, left foot, right. . . . Feet in the morning, feet at night.....

That was my nephew's favorite book, too - and I'm sure that I still have the entire book memorized. LaughingSmiley2

I must have read The Foot Book a million times to my oldest daughter! It was her first book.

And by the time my nephew had heard it three or four times - he had it memorized. (He has an amazing capability for memorization!) So there was no skipping a page here or there to hurry things on toward bedtime! LaughingSmiley2

I love to read, and I loved the LHOTP books when I was younger, (still do) and I liked the Mandie series pretty well. Now I love Historical Fiction books.

I'm not sure now. I think it was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, or Tom Sawyer, maybe Huckleberry Finn.

When I was older, I loved, "Island of the Blue Dolphins," "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret," "A Wrinkle in Time," etc.

I guess it would depend on the age group we're talking about but I did read most of the Little House books as a child. I specifically remember the cozy feeling that Little House In The Big Woods gave me.
