You can be a tiebreaker, Eugenia :D<br /><br />I adored the BFG, and I even had one of those ancient VHS tapes that was just a person reading out the book, with the pictures from the book on the screen.

The books I remember from my childhood was The Babysitter's Club series. If you weren't reading the series, you were shunned almost. To be honest, it was peer pressure, I didn't even like them all that much.<br /><br />My all time favourite (besides Alice in Wonderland of course), was Charlotte's Web. I have my old original copy still, but bought a new anniversary edition that I can pass onto my kids one day.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing poppet, these brought back some lovely memories <3Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1530164804090408863.post-49317863023803652902015-03-25T22:05:32.130+11:002015-03-25T22:05:32.130+11:00The only one here which I read in my childhood was...The only one here which I read in my childhood was the BFG! man I loved Road Dahl so much, one of the first books I remember ever reading and loving!
