Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
Welcome to another edition of Top Ten Tuesday! This week is all about childhood favorites. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t enjoy books. My mom read to me all the time when I was little. As soon as I learned how to read, I read everything I could get my hands on! I’ve divided my list into two sections. The first five on my list are picture books and the second are books I read when I was a bit older. Titles are linked to Goodreads.
The Monster at the End of this Book by Jon Stone-I can remember laughing hysterically as my mom read this over and over! My children have just outgrown this book, but they loved it too.
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett-Another favorite I’ve had the pleasure of sharing with my kids.
The Mitten by Jan Brett-Jan Brett’s books are always so beautiful!
Miss Nelson Is Missing! by Harry Allard
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst-I think this is even more entertaining as an adult!
The American Girl Series-I loved these books when I was a little girl. I had the sets about Molly, Felicity, Samantha, Kirsten, and Addy. Molly and Felicity were my favorites, and I even had a Molly doll!

The Mandie Series by Lois Gladys Leppard-Another series I treasured and recently parted with.
The Little House Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder-My list of childhood favorites would not be complete without this series! I love them and still have the boxed set.
Anne of Green Gables Series by L.M. Montgomery-Again, my list would not be complete without this series! I still have my set.
Bonus-books by Ann Rinaldi-I’ve always loved historical fiction, and I remember reading and enjoying many of Ms. Rinaldi’s books such as In My Father’s House, Wolf by the Ears, The Last Silk Dress, The Secret of Sarah Revere, An Acquaintance with Darkness, The Second Bend in the River, and many more!
What were your favorites? Did you read any of these? If so, what did you think?
I’ve not read these but they look wonderful!
They were! I had a lot of fun making the list this week and remembering these books.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. 🙂
I had the first little house book read to me as a kid, but couln’t cope with all the animal slaughter, haha. I should really re-read them!
I didn’t remember how much of that there was until I read the first book to one of my children! I still love the book/series though.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Great list! I need to read Anne of Green Gables one day. The American Girl books look so sweet!
I do hope you get a chance to read Anne of Green Gables! I haven’t read it in a long time and need to make time to revisit it.
The American Girl books were great. I loved them so much!
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
I really liked Anne of Green Gables too! This is a great list! ?
Thank you! I had so much fun making it. Lots of good memories here!
Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
OMG I loved The Mitten! As a Canadian I really should have read Anne of Green Gables – but sadly I haven’t. Great list.
Yes, The Mitten is great! I hope you get a chance to read Anne of Green Gables someday if you’d like to. I think it is still enjoyable as an adult, though it has been a long time since I read it.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Aw Alexander! I think I wore out that book. I could basically recite that one – I just loved it.
I loved it too! It is so much fun to read out loud.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. 🙂
You have some gems here. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was a family favorite, as well as Nancy Drew.
I loved Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Such an imaginative story. My kids love it too. I saw Nancy Drew on a lot of lists today!
Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Grover is awesome! 🙂 And the Nancy Drews *nods* I read so many of those after finishing all the Hardy Boys haha- I needed MORE mysteries apparently!
I always had a soft spot for the Wilder books also.
Grover is great! 🙂 I loved reading the Nancy Drew mysteries. I never had any of The Hardy Boys though. The Little House series made several lists this week. They have been a big part of so many people’s childhoods!
Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
While I’d never read the Nancy Drew books, I loved the franchise through the computer games as a kid.
I didn’t even know there were games! I also just heard today in another post that it is going to be turned into a tv show!
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
I read The American Girl books, but not as a kid. They’re pretty good.
I have such fond memories of them. They sparked my interest in historical fiction.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
I read the Little House series over and over again as kid! I still remember getting busted in elementary school reading them when I was supposed to be paying attention
It is such a great series!
Thank you for stopping by and commenting. 🙂
The Mitten has such a beautiful cover!
It does! I’ve read several other Jan Brett books with my kids and the illustrations always wow me.
Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
The Monster at the End of This Book and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs were great books!
Yes! They are so much fun!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. 🙂
OHMYGOSH!! I forgot about the Mandie books. I read a bunch of those over a pretty short period of time, and don’t think I ever did complete the entire series. They were fun little mysteries. Don’t know if ever I read a ‘Little House’ book though I’m sure at some point I did because I watched the show for quite a while too.
The AG books were all about my childhood. 🙂
Thanks for visiting Finding Wonderland.
You’re welcome.
The Mandie books were so great! I never completed the series either, but I loved the ones I had.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
My daughter just finished reading THE MONSTER AT THE END OF THE BOOK to our grandson. Good books are like that, they just get better with age. My Childhood favorites
I completely agree. It has been a lot of fun sharing these books with another generation.
Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
My mom read Little House on the Prairie to us and I see Anne of Green Gables and Nancy Drew. Great picks! Thanks for stopping by!
You’re welcome.
All those series are classics and were such a big part of so many people’s childhoods!
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Ooh I totally forgot about the American Girl series–I loved those! I had a Kirsten doll and my sister had the Samantha and I loved Samantha’s stories! I remember Kirsten’s being so sad, haha. I loved these books, they were so interesting and had some really neat historical information in them. Also love Nancy Drew!
The American Girl series was wonderful! It kindled my interest in historical fiction. I recently gave mine to the daughter of a friend, and it was hard to part with them since I have such fond memories of them. However, now another girl will be able to enjoy them.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Ah! Miss Nelson! How could I forget her? And The Mitten! I loved that one too! And another one just came to me as well. It’s hard remembering them all since most of them ended up in my sister’s classroom collection when she was teaching the younger grades. No clue where they are all at now!
Thanks for visiting my TTT post!
You’re welcome!
I had so much fun making this post. I have so many good memories with these books.
Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Thank you for including the bonus historical fiction titles. It’s my favorite genre and I’ve never read any of those titles. I’m playing catch-up as an adult.
Plus it made me smile to see The Monster at the End of this Book-a classic!
If you read some of them, you’ll have to let me know what you thought. I’d like to re-read some of them and see how well they have held up.
The Monster at the End of this Book is so good! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
I feel like I really missed something by not knowing Anne of Green Gables!
It is a really good book. I hope you get a chance to check it out some day.
Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Alexander! The Mitten! I loved those.
They are wonderful!
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Omg How could I forget The Little House Series? I remember when my mom bought me the whole box set, and I spent the summer reading the series. So many memories 🙂 Lovely list.
I have a boxed set too! I read the first book in school and loved it so much my parents bought me the series as a Christmas present.
Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Aww- Grover! One of my earliest reading memories is of reading a book about Grover’s first day of school. 🙂 I’ve had a copy of Anne of Green Gables for forever and seriously need to get to it!
Thanks for stopping by my TTT!
You’re welcome!
The Monster at the End of the Book is probably the very first book I really remember. I think Sesame Street is like that for a lot of people! I hope you enjoy Anne of Green Gables when you get a chance to read it.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. 🙂
We owned a copy of The Monster at the End of the Book when my brother was little. Loved Anne of Green Gables. For a birthday, I was given an Anne of Green Gables Porcelain Doll when I was 11. Alexander made my list too 🙂
Alexander is so much fun!
Ooooo an Anne of Green Gables doll! That sounds beautiful.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!!! I always loved that book. And Pickles to Pittsburgh, since I am from Pittsburgh.
I also LOVE Miss Nelson is Missing. My son and I read it like 900 times when he was little 🙂
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is so much fun! My kids love it too, and I recently introduced them to Miss Nelson is Missing.
Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Awesome list. I can see a few books on here that I’ve enjoyed.
I’m glad you enjoyed my list! Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
The range of picture books I am seeing in this TTT just takes me breath awya — I’m storing the titles to go look for for my nephews! Esp Cloudy with a chance of meatballs!
I’ve had so much fun visiting lists this week too! I’ve definitely written some down to look for.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Nice list. Nancy Drew is such fun. 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed my post!
I saw Nancy Drew on a lot of lists today! It was such a fun series.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Great list. I loved the Nancy Drew series and the Little House books too. They kept me entertained for hours as a child.
I’m glad you enjoyed my list!
Nancy Drew and the Little House series were great. They’ve impacted so many people.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
I haven’t read any of these as a kid, but The Monster At The End Of This Book sounds so fun (gotta love Grover) 🙂
It is a lot of fun. So silly for young kids.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Omg, the American Girl Series—I was totally obsessed with those books in elementary school! Ahhh, I forgot to include those on my list. I absolutely loved Felicity and adored Kirsten too! Lol, I’m a 21 year old woman, and I still have dolls of them sitting on my shelf (I honestly forget about them most of the time tho).
The American Girls series was so wonderful! They are one of the reasons I started really getting in to historical fiction.
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. 🙂
I haven’t read any of these though we do own a set of sesame street books now for my son. They look like great fun though.
