#24 – Your favorite childhood book
Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
I loved all the silly little poems and the pictures that went along with them. I was also a big fan of The Giving Tree as well. It was just an awesome style of writing for a young kid to read. This was before I started reading Stephen King, of course…
What were your favorite books growing up?

Don't blink. Just run. 
I love those books! I also liked those books where you could skip around and make your own ending so to speak. I can’t remember the name of them though!
Oh yeah!!! Those were awesome, too!
Shel Silverstein books were awesome! I didn’t own any, but always used to read them at school and at the library 🙂 I LOVED the Boxcar Children series when I was growing up. I had lots of favorites, but those stick out as my number 1 fave 🙂
I’ve never even heard of them…
They’re an awesome series of mysteries written by a woman from Putnam, CT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boxcar_Children). Her original books were really good – the first 19 I think – and then the rest were pretty formulaic, but I still loved them. They made me want to be a detective when I was little 🙂
I LOVE Shel Silverstein. I also loved this book called the Paperbag Princess – by far one of my favorite childhood books 🙂
Hmm, I don’t think I know that one!
My first favorite book was the Very Pokey Puppy. After that, I did a lot of reading my Grandma’s reader’s digest abridged classic books. And then, in middle school, I discovered the Dragonlance series and Elfquest and embraced my geeky side! 🙂
Haha, nice!
