There's alot of awesome books I used to love but I can't think any for the life of me. I'll try to remember those.

SuperRainCheck 3 years 6 months ago Posts: 366	I recall going to the Book Fair at my elementary school and reading all the Mercer Mayer, Tomie dePaola, and Marc Brown books. I had all the Goosebumps and Boxcar Children books. My favorite book was The Wump World by Bill Peet. It was published a year before Dr. Seuss wrote The Lorax and dealt with pollution and over-consumption. I also liked Herschel and the Hannukah Goblins. I found it in December while I was looking through a box of my old things.

chainsawsmalls 3 years 6 months ago Posts: 14	Someone tell me I'm not the only one who loved Sideways Stories from Wayside School! I loved reading everything I could as a kid. Where the Wild Things Are was a favorite as well as many sports biography books. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, any sports star you could think of, I had to know everything about.
