Posted September 12, 200420 yr 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.
September 12, 200420 yr Hatchet. 554274[/snapback] :notworthy 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.
September 12, 200420 yr Sounder rocked. Other faves: -Goosebumps series -Old Yeller -Me, Mop, and the Moondance Kid -The Outsiders
September 13, 200420 yr Hey Rune isn't it called "My Side of the Mountain." Anyway, yeah that book was awesome. Probably my favorite too.
September 13, 200420 yr "The Giving Tree" by Silverstein still makes me cry. absolutely phenominal. 555056[/snapback] Thats a good one, always liked that Hatchet was also a great book
September 13, 200420 yr a connecticut yankee in king arthur's court. i also remember being caught up in the choose your own adventure craze for a little while.
September 13, 200420 yr one of the first books I remember having as a kid was Where The Wild Things Are... hehe, loved that.
September 14, 200420 yr The BFG.? Another absolute awesome kid's book that I recently read. 555882[/snapback] 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.
September 14, 200420 yr one of the first books I remember having as a kid was Where The Wild Things Are... hehe, loved that. 555863[/snapback] 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.
September 16, 200420 yr The Lorax is another good one. 557461[/snapback] those poor truffular trees. they're so cute. trees never win because they cannot defend themselves...besides the Mexican Fighting Tree...
