I still reread my favorite kids’ books from time to time, and I still have some of the original copies from when I was a kid. My favorites:

• The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster
• A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L’Engle
• The Dunkard, by George Selden
• The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C. S. Lewis
• Tikki Tikki Tembo, by Arlene Mosel and Blair Lent
• Pretty much everything by Roald Dahl

What are your favorite kids’ books?

I’m a voracious reader, though not for what some might call “good” literature, meaning the classics or anything intellectual. Don’t get me wrong – I don’t think there’s anything bad about reading light, fluffy fiction that does nothing more than entertain and pass the time, but I’ve been told that I’m mistaken. 😉

Anyway, I love science fiction, and I adore Harry Potter. While waiting for the 7th and final installation in the Harry Potter series, I’ve been spending a lot of time visiting sites and forums, and buying books that analyze the Harry Potter universe. The best site, by far, is of course J.K.Rowling’s site, which not only has all kinds of good info about the ooks and the author herself, but also makes a game of it, with clues and different kinds of hidden treasures scattered around. Great fun!
