What were your favorites books during childhood? Or maybe children’s books you read after growing up.
When I was a kid, the first book I read was The Little Prince (I think I was around 9 or 10), the drawings are so lovely (I liked to draw the elephant inside the snake/hat thing lmao) and I thought the story was cool. My mom used to read me some chapters from am illustrated version of The Jungle Book before sleep when I was little (plus those classic tales like Pinocchio and such). I also read a couple of the “Sitio do Picapau Amarelo” book series, which is super famous in Brazil, by Monteiro Lobato, he was a great author, but I don’t know if his works were translated.
And what were some you hated?

!macacos quem aqui leu "O Presidente Negro"? Vocês também consideram a cor do pardo repugnante?
(fonte com anotação de páginas etc)
Dramatards bora trazer de volta essa obra porque é muto mais engraçado imaginar as dscussões em comparação com o nada que tem em Sítio do Pica-Pau Amarelo (minha nota de que eu não dou esses comentários nos seus pings pra ser sjw mas porque eu sempre rio pracas das partes que eu encontro pra citar)

É por isso que eu tento não ler demais sobre os ideais dos autores que gosto. Muitos deles tem ideias políticas absolutamente r-sluradas ou maliciosas, Monteiro Lobato parece um anti Gilberto Freyre.

When I was really little, I mostly remember The Monster at the End of This Book and another one called Love You Forever. Later on I got absolutely hooked on Goosebumps books
, and then one called Hatchet I read like three times for some reason. I had a friend that was into those animorph books so I tried one but couldn't get into them at all. I bet he's a furry now.

Even when I was a kid I knew Goosebumps was like junk food books
The kids who read animorphs tucked their t-shirts into their jeans

I've never read an animorphs book but I did read a short summary someone wrote of the whole series. It gets pretty darn weird lol. Like alien genocide and war crimes weird.

I loved Hatchet but I can't remember if I read any of the sequels. Going to read Paulsen's memoirs at some point because his biography on Wikipedia is just as eventful as his books.

I am quite old. When I was young I enjoyed Rupert the Bear. The original Rupert, from the mid-20th century, was a Bear Of Color but then they whitewashed him to please Oswald Mosely or something...
Edit: or maybe it was just to save ink, IDK.

I think Where the Wild Things Are is totally overrated while better Sendak books like Higglety Pigglety Pop are underrated.
Madeline and Babar were some of my favorite picture books
but I remember reading a lot of nonfiction like Stephen Biesty, David Macaulay, and Eyewitness books
I do not get Enid Blyton at all. I heard she was banned by the BBC for being bad which I don't know is fair but I also kinda get. There is a not bad TV movie about her that makes seem her horrible but interesting.
Didn't take to CS Lewis as kid, I've been meaning to try again.
There is a lot as an adult I like but never read during childhood: Mary Poppins, Joan Aikens, Edith Nesbit, Moomins, William Pène du Bois.
Oh, and Harry Potter

I loved the Redwall books as a kid. They're pretty formulaic, but the formula is a good one, and they're very cozy
And Harry Potter unironically. I read them over and over, and I'm very thankful I somehow avoided the online fandom

I loved the little house on the prairie books growing up. I'm now re-reading them as an adult, since I only got to Plum Creek.
But of the mango traumatized me as a teenager, I had to read it going into 8th grade and that was the first account of r*pe I had ever read. I had nightmares after.
