Children’s Literature favorites and worsts

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?

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:marseyface:, 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. :marseyfurry2:

That's probably the only book I remember having to read in grade school that everyone loved.

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.
