I loved loved loved The Babysitter's Club books when I was about 8, and I was momentarily sad that LO will be a boy who won't read them!!! Then I realized its probably not likely a little girl would read what I liked in the 1990s anyway ;) Not any more likely than I was to read my mom's old Nancy Drew books!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-childhood-books-you-loved-that-youre-excited-for-your-lo-to-read#post-2165542 Sun, 03 May 2015 15:33:18 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2165542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: My husband was a big fan of the Ramona books as a child.
