It's Children's Book Week... what was your favourite book growing up?

Poll

What is your favourite childhood book?

It's the beginning of October and it's also Children's Book Week! My favourite book growing up was Beyond the Deepwoods (Edge Chronicles) and I still cherish it today! What book do you remember/ love most from your childhood?

When I was really little it was a book about a penguin learning to fly- or any boom about penguins really, I haven't really changed! When I got a bit older and could read for myself it has to be a tie between War Horse (Michael Morpurgo) and Goodnight Mr Tom (Michelle Magorian) :smile:

Secret Seven, Famous Five, Goosebumps and Agatha Christie stories were all I read when I was young.
Anything by Roald Dahl. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Fantastic Mr. Fox especially.
