Your favorite books as a child

[Melissap]

I was browsing kids books on Amazon, and I was surprised to see some of my favorite books as a child are either reissued or still in print. I'm looking to see if anyone has recommendations for books they enjoyed as a child that are still available.

Thanks in advance!

Harry the Dirty Dog
Francis books (Bread and Jam for Francis)
There is a Monster at the end of this book- found at a garage sale, a grover book
Curious George books

I loved the Golden Books, and have found that a few have resurfaced.

Oh, geez, this is taking me back....

I had a copy of Home for a Bunny that had to be taped up a lot because I read it so much. :)

The Monster at the End of this Book was another favorite, and also Blueberries for Sal.

I loved the Soup series by Robert Newton Peck, also Judy Blume books!
Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes was sad but a good message!
How could I forget the Little House on the Prarie series and Make Way for Ducklings!
