some of yours and

little red hen
three little pigs

Jack and the Beanstalk- I used to have a little book which came with a read-along little record! Old school all the way

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs- i had a pop-up Disney book which i was fascinated by...i also thought I was Snow White

Cinderella- and my cousin thought she was Cinderella

All those Noddy books and various other titles by Enid Blyton- my mum shared with me her childhood love of these books...she bought and borrowed books for me alot and I loved it!

The Meg and Mog series- i learn my first big word from there when i was five! "CATASTROPHE!"


DISTURBING BOOKS

Three little pigs- omg that wolf!!!

Are You My Mother (from grade one)- self explanatory...its innocent and about a little lamb looking for his mama and he couldn't find her until ofcourse the end of the book...but it was really sad and scary at the time

When Your Vivid Imagination Runs Away With You (from grade two)- I didn't like the sing-along song of it, i found it scary to listen to back then

thumbelina!!

i had the coolest book with
pop ups that tied together open
to make a kind of mobile hanging thing

You spelled "from" wrong, twice! Are you drunk?

Pippi Langstrumpi looks like a handful.

I remember that my dad was always telling me stories about his own childhood. I loved listening to him, he had so much to tell . He also made up his own stories and I would help him by adding my own thoughts. I loved it and as we had a vivid imagination our stories were quite good me thinks.

I remember i kept staring at the page with 'CATASTROPHE!' when Meg and Mog crashed down from the broomstick! I think i was wondering if any other kids noticed that word as much as i did...catastrophe...seemed so out of place in a kids world it wasn't just the fact that it was a big word but it was the way it was spelt...and why was it there.

Trust my first big word to be catastrophe!

we had an abreviated version of gulliver's travels that had illustrations that always me
the lilliputians had tied gulliver's hair down so tightly it made an impression on me

I got a pocket size version of that book when I was nine. I never ended up reading it cause of that reason! Do you know how long that book is? And squeezed up in a pocket size? Sure it was cute...till i opened the book up...i put it down and started reading a book on plants instead!

Damn!

The Elves and the Shoemaker

These you just made up when you were smoking banana peels:

2. The Three billy Goats Gruff
3. The Magic Porridge Pot

Ace said:

You put The Emperor's New Clothes twice. They are real stories, I did not make them up

LleeLlee said:

That's because it's the only one worth...how you English folk say? A "toss"?


Sure, if that's what your mom told you.

No 1 ever read a story 2 me
