You are five years old...what is your favorite book?

[LoZoccolo]

My favorite ones were Richard Scarry books. There was this one that had a bunch of funny stories in it like the one about the gingerbread man that got up and ran away and everyone was chasing him and another one about these two pigs that had three wishes and one of them wished for a sausage and the other one thought that was stupid and got mad about it and wished that the sausage was on the end of the other one's nose and then they had to waste the third one on getting it off his nose!

At 5 my favorite book was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I found that book a couple of years ago and read it to my own children. I don't know why I was so obsessed with it. : )

10. The Monster at the End of this Book

I LOVED this book when I was little. I just loved how Grover was talking to me! And how the monster in the end wasn't scary, it was Grover!

12. at 5, my hero was Dr. Seuss!

14. "Max und Moritz" by Wilhelm Busch

My German father gave me an english translation when I was very young (in the original German, it was his favorite book when he was a child); it was my favorite book for about ever, and it still ranks pretty high up there for me. The comic strip "The Katzenjammer Kids" was based on the Max and Moritz characters.

25. "Pride and Prejudice," by Jane Austen

No, seriously, my favorite book at five was probably "Homer Price." I forget who wrote it, but it was so much fun to read.
