Think Pollyanna was one and also had the board game. Lad A Dog was a favorite. There were others a relative sent of some of the classics that had been hers as a girl. What I recall mostly is when I could take the bus myself downtown, walk the block to the library all by myself. I wandered the aisles reading books, some well beyond my years they likely wouldn’t have let me check out, so could read there over time as I discovered Madame Bovary.

I think my favorite book as a child was Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tales. Later, as an adult it was Peter Rabbit, Caps for Sale, Goodnight Moon and so many more. colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16669375650785054059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-47268245479025046832019-03-06T11:40:30.866-08:002019-03-06T11:40:30.866-08:00I loved "Secret Garden" too.

I can't remember the title but I was about 14, and it was thought to be "shocking" - haha. I remembered!
