Re: Favourite Books As A Child
It definately has to be the Enid Blyton series, I loved those books.
I'm kinda partial to the Harry Potter books now, I read one by accident and got hooked (quite embarrassing cos I used to laugh at adults reading them on the tubes in London....

Re: Favourite Books As A Child
"The Hungry Caterpillar" and "Where's Spot". The bestest books for under fives on the planet
 THEY HAD POP-UPS PEOPLE!!!! Hmm, slightly more grown up I vaguely remember the adventures of Roger Red Hat, Billy Blue Hat and Jennifer Yellow Hat. Can't remember for the life of me what books they were in though. |

Re: Favourite Books As A Child
The Very Hungry Caterpillar was great.
I seem to remember another one, which was a really p***ed off butterfly trying to fight everyone... At one point, he tried to fight a whale. That's all I've got just now, any ideas? If I had to guess a name, it'd be The Very P***ed Off Butterfly, but that may be wrong

Re: Favourite Books As A Child
The Machine Gunners - Robert Westhall.
Remember having it read to us at primary school in the late 70's and thier was much sniggering because the word "bo11ox" came up..lol! Apart from that it was also a very good book and IIRC was also adapted for childrens TV without the swearing. |

Re: Favourite Books As A Child
For a boy living in a caravan during his formative years,The rarified surroundings in which the Enid Blyton books were set had no meaning or attraction to me. Total garbage, especialyy those 5 toffs she kept prattling on about.

Re: Favourite Books As A Child
"The Mouse and the Motorcycle" by Beverly Cleary (although the sequel "Runaway Ralph" was disappointing.)
Also "Speed Six" by Bruce Carter I read "The Dambusters" when I was about 13 and it remains one of my favorite books to this day. The book follows the squadron throughout the war, not just the first mission |
