❤️️ I remember a big hard cover volume of Grimms Fairy tales. My dad use to read us stories from that.
I also remember Marry Poppins.
My favorites were the Dr. Seuss books. Green Eggs and Ham was the very first library book I ever read on my own.

I remember in one of my grade school classes, the teacher always ended the school day by reading a chapter from Charlotte's Web to the class. Now that kind of fits into the warm and fuzzy category.

Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little were also great childhood books.

The real book of Pinocchio.

Hugh Lofting, the Dr Dolittle books.
He had funny names for the animal characters, like Dab-Dab (the duck),Gub-Gub was a pig, but the dog was just named Jip.
These stories made me think the world was very wide, and we should treat animals as if they were people.
Life is a big adventure. Enjoy it. We can all get along.

The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton.
Does anyone know if it has ever been made into a movie? Or if a movie has been made about Enid Blyton? I have such beautiful memories of my third-grade teacher reading it to us all on a beautiful sunny day under a big tree outside. Such sweet memories!

The Flash comic books. He was my hero. As a child, I didn’t think that I could run fast. I became older, and learned that I could.
