Hi all,

When I was really little I was big on "Dr. Seuss" and "Clifford" books, and then when I got older - probably around 9 and 10 - I really started getting into "Nancy Drew", "The Babysitters Club" and "Goosebumps" books. My very favorite book though as a child was called "My Dog Ate My Homework" and if I remember correctly, it was about a boy who's best friend was a dog who helped him with all his boyhood struggles. I can't think of who the author was, though.

What did you like to read as a kid?

When I was little the traditional stuff, Dr. Seuss, nursery rhymes, fairy tales, we had a lot of the Little Golden Books with Mickey mouse and Donald Duck and one with Annie Oakley (that's from a LONG time ago), and we had one of those flip books, two stories, one side's upside down and the other's right side up, of Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland, but I only ever read Peter Pan, why I didn't read Alice as a child I don't know. Another favorite, we had the book Garfield & His 9 Lives, and when I was little my mother told me not to read some of the stories because they were more for adults, espeically Life #3, Babes and Bullets, but I did read it and I loved that story. Then when I got older, I read the Fright Time series, and that was about it until I was 13 and started going to the library.

When I was really young, I liked the Golden Books, that were centered around popular cartoons like Pound Puppies and things like that. Then I liked Sweet Valley High, Lurlene McDaniel's books and that type. I don't think I had a favorite type between little kid and tween.

i had sweet valley high with the blonde twins too. and flubber by judy blume. My first ghost story book was "Real Ghosts" by Daniel Cohen. I remember when I was about 10 I read Pet Semetary and Thinner. i figured that if i could read a thick book like Stephen King's i could read anything
