The Very Hungry Caterpillar is my favorite book from your classics list.
My favorite book as a child was A Mouse To Be Free, but I don't have any idea why I liked it so much as it seems very sad now that I read it as an adult and I try and stay away from all sad books and movies!

My favorite book from childhood? That' a tough one: there were so many,
and different ones at different ages. The one that pops to mind first is
Pippi Longstocking, and I'll put the Oz series at a close second.

I never read Amos and Boris as a child, but all my children laughed themselves silly over all the Amos and Boris books!
So that is definitely a favorite!

I have so many childhood favorites, but one that's on the list is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I pretty much like all of Roald Dahl's books.

Corduroy is my favorite book [from my childhood]... since it's on the list I'm going to pick another too, and re-submit that as my 'list pick'
laurawins@live.ca
Guess how much I love you is my favorite list pick
laurawins@live.ca
I like Alice in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass that is on your list.
My favorite book as a child would have been curious George!
On the classics list I always like any that is illustrated by Paul Galdone - Henny Penny is one that is a favorite in our house! (We also like 3 Billy Goats and The Gingerbread Boy also by him). When I think of these stories I always think of his version!
As a child my parents read to us every night - from your list I clearly remember Mike Muligan's Steam Shovel as an all time favorite!
We are big fans of Goodnight Moon and just ordered it in Hebrew for my son. Toot and Puddle and Chicken Little are two current favorites and he has always loved curious george.
My favorite book as a child was The Indian in the Cupboard

Wow I don't know where to begin. Strolling through your selection is like a trip down memory lane. I think my favorite item in your shop would be either "the giving tree" or one of the Richard Scarry books. Though the Velveteen rabbit is soooo good!
My favorite book from childhood... when I was really little it was "good night moon" and when I was a little older it was "Mr. Poppers Penguins".
