Wednesday’s What’s What

January 27, 2010

Recently Carole Dissendorp asked a bunch of facebook friends a question that I will shamelessly regift here.

WHAT WERE / ARE THE CHILDREN’S BOOKS MOST POPULAR AT YOUR HOUSE? 

My answer was:

  1. Younger years: Mr Men and Dr Seuss
  2. 7-10 y.o.: Roald Dahl and Winnie the Pooh (actually, I was the only one who enjoyed Pooh Bear, so let me change that to Narnia)
  3. Pre-adolescent: Captain Underpants series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, and anything by Andy Griffiths 

And I’d happily read Captain Underpants any day.

How about you? What say you?

    younger: Eric Carle – The Very Hungry Caterpillar, etc.
    elementary age – same as yours – Roald Dahl and Narnia, not Pooh, sorry
    adolescent – Ann of Green Gables – me, not so much the kids, Wayside School series.

    Thanks, John. Go Dog Go & Guess How Much I Love You were features of our reading times too. Great books.

    Wayside school is hilarious! You’ll like it. By Louis Sachar, author of Holes.
