What a wonderful question -- and what a hard one! I loved all books as a child, and read avidly. Robert Lawson's RABBIT HILL was a special favorite, and Hugh Lofting's DR. DOOLITTLE books (yes, I know -- but the recent controversy at first stunned me, and then of course, I understood -- but it didn't affect me in the way critics felt it would affect today's kids). I loved LITTLE WOMEN, but loved LITTLE MEN far more; the Pooh books, of course, and Beatrix Potter - and SNOW TREASURE, whose author's name eludes me, about the Norweigian kids who sumggled the country's gold out of the country during WW II -- also a book called BRAVE GIRLS, published I think by the Girl Scouts, about kids who were part of varous resstance groups during WWII. Jack London's books, Arthur Rackham's illustrations, ROBIN HOOD; KIDNAPPED. PAGE, SQUIRE, KNIGHT, OTTO OF THE SILVER HAND, Terhune's books, Walter Farley's books -- I'd better stop, for my mind is listing more and more favorites -- one more, though, which my 6th grade teacher read aloud to the class: GABRIEL AND THE HOUR BOOK, about a young monk who worked on an illuminated manuscript. I read the Bobbsy Twins series, but with only mild interest, and never discovered Nancy Drew or The Hardy Boys -- but did find SUE BARTON, STUDENT NURSE and liked that well enough. I also read lots of books that took place at West Point, and...
Enigh, enough!
