Which were your favorites? say, early childhood up to 12 years old.
Short list:
-Matilda by Roald Dahl
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L’Engle
-Anything by Beverly Clearly (Ramona, Henry Huggins, The Mouse and the Motorcycle, etc.)
-Rosie and the Rustlers by Roy Gerrard
-The Doctor Seuss books, of course. My favorite was probably "The Sneetches" or "Yertle the Turtle"
-*groan* The Babysitters Club series by Ann M. Martin
-Charlotte’s Web and Stuart Little by E.B. White
