Top Ten Childhood Favorites

1) Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit

One of my absolute favorite books of all time. When I first read the audio book, I reread it at least 3 times after. It was also the first book that moved me to tears. 

2) Junie B. Jones series by Barbra Park

I loved this series when I was in the first and second grade. My favorites were Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus, Junie B. Jones and the Yucky Blucky Fruitcake, and Junie B. Jones and Her Big Fat Mouth.

3) Amelia's Notebook series by Marissa Moss

I always thought these books were so cool. They were written as though they really were some girls journal. Full of hand drawn illustrations, and lots of funny stories.

4) Magic Tree House series by Mary Osborne Pope When I was in elementary school, I'd had a fascination with ancient Egypt and mummies.  So, of course, the first one I'd ever read was Mummies in the Morning. I also really liked Night of the Ninjas.

5) Sweet Valley Kids: A Curse on Elizabeth, and Trapped in Toyland by Francine Pascal

I probably read almost all of the Sweet Valley Kids books in about 3rd or 4th grade. The ones I read again and again were A Curse on Elizabeth and Trapped in Toyland. 

6) Nate the Great series by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat

These were pretty short chapter books about a kid detective in San Francisco, solving mysteries in his neighborhood. My favorite was The Case of the Fleeing Fang. 

7) The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner

I loved The Boxcar Children. The whole idea of kids surviving on their own in the wilderness really appealed to me. I didn't even read any other books in the series because it wasn't about survival, they were solving mysteries. (Didn't make sense then, doesn't make sense now.) 

8) Goosebumps series by R.L. Stein

I read every Goosebumps book my library had. The only one that ever gave me nightmares though, was Night of the Living Dummy. Some of my Favorites were One Day at Horrorland, The Cuckoo Clock of Doom, How I Got My Shrunken Head, It Came From Beneath the Sink, and Welcome to Camp Nightmare. 

9) Amelia Bedelia series by Peggy Parish

The classic stories of the house keeper that takes instructions too literally and bakes a mean pie. Anyone who said they didn't laugh reading Amelia Bedelia stories are lying to you. 

10) Frog and Toad series by Arnold Lobel

The, also, classic stories of two best friends that may not always get along but always have lots of fun. 

Here are some other favorites that didn't fit on the list. 

-The Berenstain Bears in Maniac Mansion by Stan & Jan Berenstain

-Cam Jansen Mysteries series by David A. Adler

-Encyclopedia Brown series by Donald J. Sobol

-A Bargain for Frances by Russell Hoban

-The Littles Go Exploring by John Peterson
