Kids Books
 
Anyone else just LOVE kids books?

There's this series that's a 3rd grader series, it's the Hank Zipzer books, they were written buy the guy who played the Fonz... I love them, I've been reading them all break.

Kids books are just so great. They're usually funny, more entertaining, have shorter chapters, and are a larger print so the words don't do funny things as much and it's easy to read.

Mm, not that young, I love fantasy for ages 12-15 and then above. Stuff like Diana Wynne Jones. Adolescent fiction is the best acutally.

Jacqueline Wilson! I just wish she'd been around when I was younger.

I often read the children's new picture books that come in at work.

I also really like the Kipper books because the pictures are so cute!

Beatrix Pooter is excellent. I bought a box set of them all.

I still love Enid Blyton, espically Famous Five, Malory Towers and St Clare. Those books helped me through a hard childhood so i collected them from charity shops as an adult

oooh & '5 minutes peace'

& 'Burglar Bill' - catchphrase - ''That looks nice, I'll 'av that' (I still say that, lol)

& I had a book about a boy who lost his stuffed dog called 'DOGGER' - means something TOTALLY different now! :/

I forgot about Enid Blyton! How could I?! They also helped me through tough times. Books were my escape. I liked The Chalet School books too.

'i'll like you forever, i'll love you for always'

?

Popple 01-01-2008 11:14 PM

I remember it ..cause I still have it lmao =]

Most of what I read is written for like 10-14 year olds... kinda has to be though, cause being both dyslexic and ADD, anything written at much past like a middle school level is too hard for me to enjoy reading, partly just cause it's too much work to read it, but also cause I read really slowly so I get bored after like half a page... so yeah, I can read stuff written for adults, but not quickly enough that I can stay interested for long enough, so by process of elimination, I kinda have to like kids books :-p
