I liked the book "Round Robin"

bout a fat lil robin who couldn't fly south for the winter with all the other robins...

so he hopped all the way down there... getting skinnnier as he went. so he got down there (my memory is fuzzy on this) partied and got fat again... and all the other robins left him to go fly north. so he had to start all over again...

think that's how it went.


i always identified with Round Robin.

even entered an art contest for your favorite book in 2nd grade and they disqualified me caues they didn't think i did the poster

Almost anything by Robert Munsch

You can listen to some of the audiobooks online-

I thought "round robin" was a computer term; it's a method how a processor dedicates clock cycles to multiple concurrently running processes.

Anyway, my favorite book was the stories of Winnie the Pooh. Not the Disney one, but the original version by Alan A. Milne.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Never heard of Round Robin. I like Peter Rabbit and Winnie Pooh and the Blustery Day.

Go, Dog, Go! By P.D. Eastman

It was the first book I could read by myself. I still love to read when I'm down or just bored.

Everything by Dr. Seuss and Maurice Sendak.

Well, not counting any I liked as a child, but ones I like even now:

The Asterix and Tintin books, especially Asterix (there are somethings you may only get as an adult which is what Goscinny and Uderzo intended. There is also a very adult, but subtle, joke that I didn't know until now in Asterix and Son when Impedimenta hints that the baby dumped on Asterix's doorstep is his bastard son).

The Bottersnikes and Gumbles books by SA Wakefield. Excellent Australian children's literature, has an environmentally friendly image, and very humourous.

Roald Dahl, "The Magic Finger" was the first proper book i read (okay, it was large print) i still have it and read it when i'm feeling particularly upset. I also liked the poetry he did, especially with Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderalla, he is just so evil.

"Grandpa's Slippers" by Joy Watson is about an old man who has an old pair of slippers that his wife keeps trying to get rid of, but which he refused to get rid of and rescued them from various plots by his wife to dispose of them, i could relate.

Isn't that the book with the holes in it?

Sam I Am (or was it I am Sam?) I will not eat those green eggs and ham oh sam i am.

It's Just a Plant.

The Snow Queen

some others, I forgot

The Puppy Who Wanted a Boy

i was obsessed with Go, Dog. Go!

As a child in Germany, my favorite book was Siamkatze, German for Siamese Cat. Big surprise!

I also liked That Darn Cat by the Gordons and a book called Mr. Blue, also about Siamese cats.

Other children's books I liked were Pippi Longstocking and the Beverly Clearly books.

Mary Poppins.
