The Bobbsey Twins

The IAG bloggers are writing about their favorite childhood books in honor of Children's Book Week (see here and here, maybe more later).

We had a small collection of Dr. Seuss books at home, so Cat in the Hat is a special favorite.

As a voracious young reader, I loved series--even ones that were completed before I was born. I read the entire run of the Bobbsey Twins and the Boxcar Children in third grade and the summers surrounding it. It took some careful coordination between the school library and the public library to read both series completely and in order.

In fourth grade, our teacher read the Laura Ingalls Wilder books aloud (this was several years before the Little House on the Prairie television series) after the lunch recess. So, of course, I read all of those books that year.

Then I graduated to Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, the Williamsburg Series by Elswyth Thane, and Louisa May Alcott's books. Reading all those series made a pretty big dent in my small hometown library.
