Like so many people, I read and loved these books as a girl.

When I was younger I hated reading. Bless my mothers heart she struggled so much to teach me. Then we picked up the boxcar children and started reading them out loud to each other.
I fell in love with reading after this and that summer devoured everything I could...

| Author | Madeleine L'Engle |
| ISBN | 0440360374 |
These books make me sad to know what kids are reading today. Very few "children's books" quote Euripides, Goethe, and include sayings in Portuguese or Welsh. These stories (A Swiftly Tilting Planet, which is my favorite, in particular) are largely responsible for the shaping of my imagination as far...

Baby-Sitters Club Boxed Set #1
| Author | Ann M. Martin |
| ISBN | 0590598872 |
I'm not going to bother listing the whole series, but I read quite a few of them (maybe 30 or 40 of the--at the time--100 or so books)in second and third grade. By fourth grade I could feel myself starting to outgrow them, but kept reading because I just couldn't bring myself to let go of a series that I had once...
The Bobbsey Twins of Lakeport
While most books in the 1001
childrens books series are timeless, The Bobbsey Twins is definitly of a time. Unfortunately this time is one of segregation and racism.
For example: The twins sort their dolls- the best doll had blond hair and blue eyes, the worst doll is black and dirty and named...

I haven't read these books since I was a kid. I think I was ten when I got my Kirsten doll for Christmas. At the time, I was really into the 'Little House on the Prairie' books and I was really excited to get my doll.
Unfortunately, I actually had to return my doll soon after getting her when her eyelashes...
