I remember i spent a good 2 or 3 years of my preteen years reading the Sweet Valley Twins and Babysitter Club book series. I always had my nose in a book, and its hard to remember specific ones I read.

I used to love The Great Brain series by John D. Fitzgerald, Little Women and Little Men by Louisa May Alcott, anything at all by Beverly Cleary, The Aventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, the Anne of Avonlea series, and so many more that I can't name them all!

One series that I was never a fan of was Nancy Drew. My grandma used to buy me another Nancy Drew book for every occasion because everyone knew how much I loved to read, but I could never get into those books and I just wished she would stop buying them for me ! She finally stopped and started buying me the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder instead.

My favorite childrens books are The Little Rabbit, The Little Puppy, The Little Kitten, The Little Lamb,....you get the picture! I had them all when i was a kid and loved them then.....
We were at Barnes and Noble maybe 2 years ago and i saw them there, i was sooo excited! So now we have them all for our kids and they like them too! Its great to share my fave with my kids!

I also love The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein. And thankfully the girls love it too, its a staple in our bedtime routine!

My daughter used to read the Babysitters club but I don't think she ever got into Sweet Valley High series. And our son would read the Nancy Drew series as well as all the The Hardy boys and whatever else he could get his hands on, including things like Lord of the rings at 9. He then read it again at 12 or 13 and still enjoyed it and had read it again as an adult.

My favorite childrens books had to be the Little House Series, in fact my parents still have it at their house for me. I remember reading all of the Sweet Valley High books in Jr. High.

We have started collecting all of the Dr Suess books for our kids to read, and they love them. He had quite the imagination.
