I didn't really get that into the original Sweet Valley High series, I had a few, but the books all seemed the same to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-whats-your-favourite-childhood-books#post-20003 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:55:31 +0000 808love 20003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Judy Blume, Choose Your own Adventure and Sweet Valley Twins...when I was much younger....I can't really remember but I watched a lot of Sesame Street.

I plan on reading it to my firstborn too :)</p> <p>in case anyone isn't familiar, the catch-line in it is, </p> <p>"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-whats-your-favourite-childhood-books#post-19704 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 19:59:45 +0000 VanessaC15 19704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhh, Goosebumps!

It's about a little bear who wants to stay up all winter to finish reading the whole encyclopedia.</p> <p>Grade school was Little House on the Prairie. I LOVE those books. I will definitely buy our little girl a set since the ones I had are destroyed from too much reading.</p> <p>After Little House, it was Baby-Sitters Club. I own almost all of them. My mom found the box when they moved a couple months ago and I made her keep them.</p> <p>Also, Matilda, the Ramona books and Ella Enchanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-whats-your-favourite-childhood-books#post-19621 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:18:41 +0000 PastaAndPotato 19621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>strega nona was (and still is) one of my favorite books when i was a kid - we're TTC, and i'm already on the hunt for a sturdy hardback copy for our future LO</p> <p>when i was old enough to read to myself, i loved nancy drew, sweet valley, and the baby sitters club. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-whats-your-favourite-childhood-books#post-19615 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:03:57 +0000 Navy_Mommy 19615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.earrings: I loved the Boxcar Kids! Although the storyline of the original book (when they're actually living in the boxcar) is kinda disturbing... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-whats-your-favourite-childhood-books#post-19608 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:42:13 +0000 ccflowers 19608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My absolute favorite book growing up was a personalized book that my mom had made for me when I was about 4. I was the main character and all the other characters were family members. It was so special and I loved it so much. I am definitely going to do that for my kids one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-whats-your-favourite-childhood-books#post-19604 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:37:02 +0000 erinpye 19604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was really young I LOVED Goodnight Moon and Green Eggs and Ham.
