Favorite childhood book
Mine was The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein.
Very moving story about extreme self sacrifice by a tree for the boy that grew her.
As a child he eats her fruits, climbs her trunk, swings from her branches.
As an adult he sells her apple for money and uses her branches to build a house and eventually cuts her trunk down to make a boat and sail around the world.
At an old age the boy returns to her and she tells him that she has nothing more to give (she is merely a stump now) but the boy says he merely wants a place to sit down, which she can provide.

I love funny bones !!!
Anything by Enid Blyton.
Them shape books when i was 3. There were like a different shape. Like a train with like different shapes and it told a story. It was usually a shiny piece of colour as a shape inside the book.
Good memories.
Don't have any anymore.
Does anyone know what there called.
And obviously who could forgot The Magic Key.

Harry Potter! (okay, it's so... normal)
I'll go with 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'... Idk why, I just liked the series.
It's about some orphans who get transferred from home to home, and this villain keeps trying to capture them and steal their inheritance.
It's a little weird, but I like it!

The comic that the British Dennis the Menace appeared in. He's like their mascot and main character.
