Gloria Richard 
My fav childrens book is probably Bear Snores On by Karma Wilson. Beautiful descriptions that challenge the kiddos while also keeping their interest.
Hi, Nicole! Thanks for the visit and comment. Anything that challenges those great nieces of mine and keeps their interest gets my vote, too. In five years, I suspect they’ll be ready to blow my cover as a logic puzzle whiz kid. Until then, perhaps they can write their own book, Nana and Aunt Glowie Snore. Sound tracks available upon request.
I love Spork by Kyo Maclear; so sweet!
Curiosity about the pages behind a cover titled Spork have my B&N gift card wiggling its way out of my wallet. I love the name of your blog, Romi. Ah. The Dreamy Tree has notions of daydreams and cloud-creature-creations floating in my noggin.
Thanks for the visit!
Oooh this is my second favourite, but my first is Virginia Wolf, by the same duo, Kyo Maclear and Isabelle Arsenault.
Drummer Boy by Loren Long. I cry every time I read it to my boys. 🙂
The first book I ever remember reading – and the one that I kept going back to – was The Monster at the End of this Book, starring Grover from Sesame Street. My original copy was WELL worn out. So I got a new one. 🙂
Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret. Hands down, no contest. Read it a gazillion times. Could never figure out what Laura Danker was up to behind the A&P. Didn’t even know what an A&P was.
Charlotte’s Web immediately came to mind. This was the book that truly gave me a love of reading.
Charlotte’s Web is a gift for young readers. Timeless. Any book that pings a love of reading gets my vote!
My teen books were all in French. I loved “Fantomette” and the Club of Five.
I’m not familiar with Fantomette, Carole. Perhaps it wasn’t translated into English? The title alone intrigues me.
Thanks for the visit!
My Favorite kid/teen book is Island of the Blue Dolphins, never forget that story!
I remember reading that book, too, Hildie…several times. Thanks for supporting Children’s Book Week!
I have to choose just one? Seriously? You’re killing me here. 😉
Because I have so many favorites, I’m going to go with the one that first popped into my mind: The Van Gogh Cafe by Cynthia Rylant.
It doesn’t surprise me you had a tough time picking just one. If I listed all my favorites, my comment would qualify as a mini-novella. See you over at your blog.
My favourite teen book would be The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin.
I liked you on facebook under Katie Robertson. 🙂
Aw. Mega thanks for the LIKE on Facebook, Rebecca and Katie Robertson. I’ll check to see if you have an official page, too so I can LIKE you back.
The Giving Tree
My favorite children’s book was The Boxcar Children. When I was a teen, I loved reading The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
Hey, Brinda. Knowing your bookworm personality, it surprises me you could narrow it down enough to put favorites in a short post. Thanks for nudging me into this hop. I’m seeing so many familiar titles from back-in-the-day. Oh, all right. I also wander and read in the Children’s Section at B&N.
Go, Dog. Go! by PD Eastman
There are so many, but the one my mother had to (Let me preface this by saying I was extremely carful with my books!) tape together and ultimately repurchase, because because I read it so much, was The Baby Unicorn by Jean and Claudio Marzollo. The story and pictures took me away to a magical place.
My favourite children’s book is The Hobbit. I have lost count of how many times I have read it now since the first time over 30 years ago!
My favorite teen book is Meeting Destiny by Nancy Straight
My favorite children’s book would be the Enchanted Tree by Enid Blyton (the first ‘long’ book I ever read) and my favorite teen book right now would be Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins. I finished it two days ago and absolutely loved it!
Rachel, I have a love/hate relationship with books that grab me. Love the read. Hate that I accomplish nothing, nada, zip until I finish the book. Thanks for stopping by for the hop.
BTW, although I comment with the name airlia2012, the name I use in the form is Rachel Chan.
My favourite book is Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater… thanks for the giveaway.
My pleasure of the giveaway, Tania. Good luck!
for me it was bilbot the hobbit ( i read it at 6^^;;)
my fav children’s book would be Green Eggs and Ham by Dr Seuss
I wish I knew which of my sister’s inherited our Dr. Seuss collection. LOVED those books. Still do.
My favourite is not limited to one book. I have about 5 favourites. Here’s one: Delirium by Lauren Oliver! 🙂
I’m with you, Teresa. Pick one? ACK! I can’t do it.
I used to love ‘the quangle wangles hat’ when I was really little, I have too many young adult favourites to list though!
My favourte book as a child was The Chronicles Of Narnia…I loved it as a child and still love it as an adult… this one is for all ages!
I always like the Amelia Bedelia books.
Thank you for the chance. 🙂
Twitted about giveaway @momma8385 – https://twitter.com/#!/momma8385/status/199929490829344768
Thanks for the tweet out, Jeanne! Amelia Bedelia books are so fun. I stand in the children’s section and laugh-out-loud at them.
Junie B. has the same impact, although I sometimes cringe at misuse of words. It’s part of her charm, tho’, right?
So many favorites to choose from, but I still love, love, love the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis
My favourite would be The Hobbit or the Harry Potter books
The Sneeches and Other Stories by Dr Seuss, simply because it was the book I liked the most and the one my dad would read the least. One of my greatest joys was, and still is, reading the very same book to my daughter and find she loves it too.
Cheers!
Aw, Nigel! I love the notion of you reading your favorite children’s book to your daughter.
Dr Seuss–all of them–were favorites of mine long past when it was *cool* to read them. But, the cadence, word play, and how-did-he-think-of-that wonder remains with me.
Cheers back atcha!
I favorite children’s books were the American Girl series. Those books were the ones I learned to read with- and I’ve never been without a book since! Thanks for the giveaway!

Today, ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ (RIP Maurice).
Well, I”m not a mama, so I don’t read too many children’s books unless the cover grabs my attention at work(fairly often, to be honest). Young adult novels are a whole different blog, however. For middle-age, I like karma Wilson and also Mo Willems. My favorite when I was a kid was Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss. When I was a young adult, Are you there, God It’s me, Margaret by Judy Blume.
Judy Blume is one of my favorite children’s and MG authors. And, you can’t miss with any Dr. Seuss book (IMHO). Timeless.
Grave Mercy is my favorite teen book
I loved the Secret garden! I still read it once a year
What a fun idea. Revisit your favorite book from childhood once a year. That will keep the inner child active and happy. Thanks for joining the hop.
My favorite is Harry Potter series. Every book in it is amazing!
Another vote for Harry! Can you imagine being the agents who rejected Rowling’s queries? How anyone could read the first fifty pages of the first book and not fall in love with the read is beyond me.
Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. 🙂
The Hunger Games Trilogy.
I loved Anna Dressed In Blood by Kendare Blake
My favorite is the Nightshade series by Andrea Cremer.
Tobi my fave book growing up was The Spooky Old Tree by Stan and Jan Berenstein!
And anything Seuss Green Eggs and Ham anyone?
Thanks for doing the hop!<3
My pleasure, Tobi on doing The Hop. I loved all things Seuss. Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat..
I memorized many of them. Loved the word play and cadence. Thanks for the tweet. Good luck with the giveaway.

My favorite children book was Cinderella.
My favourite childrens book is The Giver. It was the book that made me an avid reader and it holds a special place in my heart! 😀
https://twitter.com/#!/Malyjah/status/200242504426205184
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the TWEET. Any book that makes a young person an avid reader is special — no matter the genre. I’d be stumped trying to answer this question myself. I always seemed to have a book under my nose.
My favorite would be “The Boxcar Children” by Gertrude Chandler Warner. It is actually an entire series of mystery books… I loved reading them!
my favorite book as a kid was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! my favorite series is most likely Harry Potter…
thanks for the giveaway!
My pleasure on the giveaway, Andrea. Good luck.
extra entry tweet https://twitter.com/#!/andreadbc/status/200257640603975680
Hey, Andrea! Thanks for the tweet. I appreciate your support. Good luck with the give-away.
thaks os much! my favourite is the sleepy beauty, because i used to had the audio book and I listened all the time!
My favourite are the Harry Potter books because they’re ageless. I loved them as a child and continue now as an adult.
I discovered the Harry Potter series as an adult and introduced my nieces and nephews to them. They are classic. I LOVE the sudden humor hits Rowling imbeds in her world building.
My favorite children’s books are Ramona Quimbey and Nancy Drew. My favorite YA book is Flat-Out Love by Jessica Park.
I tweeted: https://twitter.com/#!/christinafiorio/status/200285525045809152
I liked you on facebook Christina Rita Condomaros
Christina! Thanks for the Facebook LIKE and the tweets. I discovered Ramona when I started visiting the children’s section at B&N to see what the latest reads were for middle grade. I love her voice. Nancy Drew? Yup. Definitely a favorite. Good luck!
Harry Potter!
YES, on Harry Potter. I read it as an adult and loved it. Confession time, I own the entire series, but chose not to read the final in the series. Not placed at Hogwarts? ARGH! The only thing that would force me into that last in the series would be a “spoiler alert” that Dumbledore rose from the ashes.
My favorite children’s books were The Black Stallion Series, Nancy Drew, and Anne of Green Gables (dates me I know). Thanks for participating in the hop and for the giveaway opportunity.
FB: Sally Michele Shaw
All great choices (IMHO), Sophia. I’m on a campaign to bring some fame to Trixie Beldon. For some reason, her personality resonated more with me as a kid that Nancy Drew.
Harriet the Spy was one of my favorites when I was a kid.
I didn’t discover Harriet the Spy until I was an adult, studying middle grade books. Fabulous read(s), although the second in the series was written by another author. I love her snark and beyond-her-years word play. Her spy belt? Too fun!
I love “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” and the others in this series!
I loved Charlotte’s Web and all of Roald Dahl’s books!
Harry Potter 😀
TWEETED: https://twitter.com/#!/pinkflower636/status/200396970349699073
Hey, Emily! Harry Potter is one of my favorites, too. Thanks for the twitter!
My all time favorite children’s book is “The Polar Express” 🙂
I loved (and still do!) Charlotte’s Web and R.L Stine was pretty dang great too!
Mentioned your giveaway on Twitter. Here is the link:https://twitter.com/#!/JaimeLLester/status/200420982974988289
Thanks for the twitter mention, Jaime! I’m not familiar with King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub, but the title intrigues me.
King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub
I just love it so much
I’d love those writen by Roald Dahl. 🙂
I really, really want to say The Hunger Games but at this point I’m still not set on a favourite :A
My favorite is the Harry Potter series.
I have several, but The Uglies series has me talking alot. I wish it would get a bigger recognition because it is just as worthy as The Hunger Games.
Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite. Thank you for this chance! 😀
I really like Divergent! I actually just finished Insurgent last night (yes, it was epic!) 😀
My favorite books were the “Freddy the Pig” series. I read them more than 50 years ago and I, sadly, have not been able to find them for my grandchildren. Naturally, I cannot remember the author.
I love the Rainbow Goblins, it is such a pretty book!
My favorite children’s book is and always will be Alice in Wonderland.
I don’t have just one favorite, but one that I really loved so far this year was Grave Mercy.
I love The Hunger Games.
My favorite book changes all the time. Today it is Wonder by RJ Palacio. I just finished it and can’t stop thinking about it. It is a MG book.
Thanks for the giveaway! My blog is participating in the hop, too. Swing on by if you want to enter for a chance to win a gift card and 2 books. 🙂
My favourite book when I was a kid was The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis.

The BFG by Roald Dahl 🙂
As a kid I loved the Bernstein Bear books, as a teenager I loved Nancy Drew, and now I love all kinds of books but I mostly read YA books!!!
My favorite children’s book was The Velveteen Rabbit!
There are so many to choose from but at the moment I would probably say Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce.
I always loved One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.
My fave- Matilda! 🙂
I love “Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead”. 🙂
Thanks for the international giveaway!!

My favorite is: “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!”
Thanks for the visit and tweet, Tracy! I’m not familiar with your favorite, but a book titled Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” captures my interest. I’ll have to check it out.

My favorite growing up was the Little House on the Prairie books. Now it would be Anne of Green Gables.
I really loved The City of Ember and Encyclopedia Brown :]
I haven’t read either of your favorites, Jasmine. Hangs Head.
The closest I come is The Children’s Encyclopedia. I decided to read it from A to Z after an embarrassing incident in second grade. I made it all the way to C before boredom set in and wanderlust took root again.
My favorite Teen series are Darkest Powers and Vampire Academy!

Divergent♥
Oh geezzz I have so many I love. I would say fav YA is Clockwork Angel! I love the entire series and the potter series……I coulb be here all day lol
Charlotte’s Web
Fablehaven. I’m currently reading the 2nd book with my 8 year old son.
Thanks for checking in and commenting, Brigette. I’m not familiar with Fablehaven, but I love the image of you reading it with your 8 YO.
My favorite is the Chaos Walking Trilogy by Patrick Ness. Thanks for the giveaway!
My pleasure on the giveaway, Sharmaine. As with many of the books cited as favorites, I haven’t read the Chaos Walking Trilogy.
Does it count that there are days I feel I’m living it? No? RATS!
My favorite childrens book is Anatole by Eve Titus. Each story in the series was an adventure of a French mouse and very entertaining.
Aw. The misadventures of a French mouse sounds like a wonderful, fun, captivating series.
Pokey the pupp6
Of all the names I considered for my Yellow Lab pup, Pokey was not on the short list. Unless, I put “Hokey” in front of it, or use it in the “poking her nose where it doesn’t belong” sense of the word.
Thanks for commenting, Larissa. Good luck on the giveaway.
I loved From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs Basil E Frankwieler.
I loved that one, too, Stacy. My writing space could be a poster child for that book title. Sigh.
When I was growing up we had book called a collection of fairy tales from the grim brothers. If they have that great if not anything from the beetle bard series by jk rowling.
I really love The Giving Tree!
I never was a fan of reading as a child so my favorite in that department is Harry Potter which I read after the 7th book came out. (the experience of reading all 7 books in a few weeks was unbelievable!)
https://twitter.com/#!/SBBCreviews/status/201713653039378436
my favorite was A day no pigs would die.
Harry Potter, for sure! 😀
As a kid, I loved the Ramona and Beezus series.
Oh my goodness! I have stood in the middle of B&N and laughed out loud over the adventures of Ramona and Beezus.
I loved the sweet valley twins books
I loved the Westing Game 🙂
I don’t have kids, but I loved Charlotte’s Web when I was a kid (a very long time ago).
I couldn’t see my post so hopefully it’s not a repeat:
I don’t have kids, but I loved Charlotte’s Web when I was a kid (a very long time ago).
