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 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.
