Top Ten Tuesday . . . Ten Favorite Childhood Books


My mom taught me to read when I was three, after that I could always be found with a book in my hand, and under my pillow. I was that kid who got in trouble for using a flashlight to read at night.

Here are my ten favorite books from my childhood, in no specific order.

I loved this set from Disney. Each book represented an area of Disneyland and the stories from there. Before I was reading chapter books, these were one of my favorite go to.















My dad gave me this book and taught me how to tell time with it. I can still remember sitting on the family room floor learning time.












Miss Suzy the squirrel was a favored bedtime read. I found out that my cousin, Susie loved it too.
















The Three Little Kittens who lost their mittens. I think my gramma gave me this book, not positive. Another book that I read at least once a day.














After I read Ramona the Pest by Beverly Clearly I knew she would become a favored author and I was never disappointed with any of her books!
















I loved this book and always dreamed about a cookie tree.
















This was the first book I read to my little brother. I'll always remember him asking me to read it to him.
















Probably my all time favorite books from my childhood. I'm pretty sure I got all the ideas to pester my little brother from Ramona.














We have family friends who had pigs at the time I read this and I remember wanting to save all of the pigs. I may not like spiders but I am not afraid of them and I attribute that to reading this book.













I will never forget my 5th grade teacher reading this book to us after lunch. I was so glad we were all crying together at the end.
I can still see my daughter, Kassi, coming into my room bawling at the end of the book.
I believe books that evoke emotion like that have a special place in our heart.
