For kiddo me, it was Charlotte’s Web. The first time I read it, I loved it so much I immediately started re-reading it (to the disgust of a family member – “Why?! You just read it!”).
Where the Wild Things are were a favorite as a child. For my son, we discovered “The Gruffalo” by Julia Donaldson. I can’t reread it too many times. I get a chuckle every single time.
Do they often have any non-fiction on their reading lists? Regardless, I still love Jef and Frazz and the topic of READING! Come to think of it, Frazz has so many great topics. No wonder Frazz is my favorite comic being drawn at this time! Great topics, interesting, amusing and wonderful cartooning. Thanks Jef
It’s obvious from recent ‘Frazz’ arcs and comments that there still are lots of readers out there. I enjoy reading the comments and knowing that books in any style are still bringing pleasure.
I drew a pair of 8’s for my most recent birthday so the read book lists are a lot longer each year for me than many others. Unfortunately, favorite current fiction authors are ‘aging out’ and no longer publishing, while earlier authors are out of print in any form and hard to find. I still spend days with books downloaded from our library, but finding likeable or intriguing subjects is more difficult now.
I dunno, I don’t think it was around when I was a kid, and when I finally checked it out to see what all the fuss was about, I wasn’t terribly impressed. Maybe it’s the sort of thing you have to read when you’re a certain sort of kid.

I read the Hobbit as a kid, and after seeing the animated film.

Does that count as 100 summer readings?

I couldn’t even guess how many times I’ve read Where the Wild Things Are.

I’ve read Lord of the Rings 16 times over the years and the Silmarillion 4 times!
Due for another re-read of both!

I used to re-read books, but now there are so many books I want to read for the first time – most of which I never will.

I read “The Coral Island” for book reports … 3 years in a row. For some strange reason it was on the reading list for grades 6, 7 and 8 … so ….

Me, I almost never reread books anymore, except when reading aloud to kids. I’d rather get acquainted with new ones.

I’m guessing she and Caulfield are not in the same grade ?
