What was your favorite book growing up at Grade School?

 

I loved a lot of books but nothing beat "Far Side of THe Mountain" for me. I think every kid who read that book wanted to go out and live in the woods off the land. Just a great, fun book to read as a kid basically summing up every young kids fantasy.

Hatchet.

That book was amazing. I got another one:

 

 

 

"Where the Red Fern Grows"

 

 

 

 

So sad at the end. One of the best books IMO written.

Sounder rocked.

 

Other faves:

 

-Goosebumps series

-Old Yeller

-Me, Mop, and the Moondance Kid

-The Outsiders

"The Giving Tree" by Silverstein still makes me cry. absolutely phenominal.

That's a really good book. I read it when I was in third grade. It's one of my favorites.

 

I love "The Outsiders". My favorite book when I was younger was, well it's not a childrens book, but it was "The Bone Collector", which was quite ahead of my grade level. I think I was in 4th grade when I read it. Great book.

 

Hey Rune isn't it called "My Side of the Mountain."

 

Jean Craighead George wrote "My Side of the Mountain" and the sequel "On the Far Side of the Mountain". I read then both in fourth grade. I don't really like them, but I'm not an outdoors person.

The Lorax is another good one.

one of the first books I remember having as a kid was Where The Wild Things Are...

 

hehe, loved that.

That's the first one which came to my mind. It was awesome.

 

I also read "Helen Keller's Teacher" about a billion times. I just couldn't get enough of the story.

The Lorax is another good one.
