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?

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.
