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.

I liked Danny Dunn and I think that was the first time I ever had friends who liked some of the same books I did (Third grade, Vic, Irving and Mike, now all Facebook 'friends' which makes me happy.)

Reading them in the 1970s, it struck me as deeply bizarre that the boys carried Irene's books home from school.
