Childhood nostalgia poll

Please reminisce, fondly or not, about any of these, or other books read in childhood, especially if they seem to have, deservedly or undeservedly, vanished from the shelves. I'd love to hear about non-US, non-British books, too.

[Poll #1720139]

Then I recommend Laurel Snyder's Any Which Wall. (And also her Penny Dreadful, even if that owes most to my *least* favorite Eager, Magic or Not? I prefer magic, thandsverymuch.)

I am going to check those out! Thanks.

My own kids are no longer reading children's books. My oldest is currently reading Satre, Delilo and Cheever, while my younger is reading tests on typography.
