It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer.
One of my favorite books of all time is Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White.
What are your favorite books from childhood?

The Secret Garden, Black Beauty, The Great Brain, Tom Sawyer. Just the first few off the top of my head. Love this one too.
I never read Black Beauty or the Great Brain. I don’t remember if I read Tom Sawyer or not. Oh dear, it looks like I’m behind on my childhood reading!
The Narnia Chronicles, but then I didn’t actually discover them until high school. Beverly Cleary’s Ramona books were a fave, and I remember MoomimPapa books. So many!
The Ramona books were great. I also loved Tales of the Fourth Grade Nothing, Island of the Blue Dolphins, and The Trumpet of the Swan.
My favorite book!
Good choice!
Here’s one I prepared earlier :P:

Watership Down is the only one I’ve read on that list. I had better start cracking!
Oooo! I’d especially recommend The Giver – its a fantastic book! 🙂
Ohhh….I CRY EVERY time I even think of this book. It is one of the all time greats.
Now….books I remember …
Winnie the Pooh
Anne of Green Gables
Little Women
The Borrowers
Watership Down
Any Dr. Seuss book
I really need to read Anne of Green Gables. I didn’t read Little Women until I was all grown up.
Among the many I loved my absolute favourite was – and still is – the Little Prince.
Our book club chose that as a book one month. It sparked such interesting conversations!
I used to like reading Charlottes Web to the kids when I was a class teacher – except at the end when most of the class were in tears, including me! My own favourite though was Prince Caspian from the Narnia series.
Prince Caspian was very adventurous, wasn’t he? My son loves listening to Chronicles of Narnia on audio.
i loved the chronicles of narnia. i read them over and over. even saved up and bought my own boxed set. another favorite was anything by judy blume, of course.
It’s so weird that I’ve never read Charlotte’s Web before but I hope to get to it soon. My new fav place to but t-shirts has a cute tee with the Charlotte’s Web’s book cover on it. Here’s the link: http://shop.outofprintclothing.com/Charlotte_s_Web_book_cover_t_shirt_p/l-1040.htm
OK, Tiger, where have ya been?
Buried under work and kids. I’ve missed reading the blogs. Hope to be back soon and thank you so much for stopping by! 🙂
