Beast Quest

Lord of the Rings, which I read when I was 10.
As an adult it's become The Silmarillion. Very vanilla, sorry.

But | really enjoyed Captain Underpants back then.
Most the books I read were exclusive to my country, though. Brazilians might be familiar with the Vaga-lume collection, from which I liked Marcos Rey's books the most.
Also Some Pedro Bandeira (Os Karas series). Based Nazis hiding Hitler's mummified body in Brazil.

horrible history series and similar
still have em on bookshelf

Anybody else read this series? I was hooked because I was a horny fifth grader and there was so much dripping sexual tension that couldn't be resolved because of the target audience's age

>>18206836

We should talk about good books for small children, because it seems like there's an unbelievable amount of crap that gets published in that category, and I want buy some books to stimulate my nephews' imaginations.

>As an adult it's become The Silmarillion.
Am I misunderstanding? Your favourite book is Tolkien's turbo-autist history of his made up world?

>>18207239
Well if you were also a little foreign five year old who started off reading them to learn English and then kept reading them for years then yeh

>>18206836
Tintin
Asterix and Obelix
Calvin and Hobbes

Anyone else play this?
I was born in '97 but read a lot of these from the local library because I was poor and also lived far away from the few friends I had
This is bringing back some feels
As for proper books I can't really remember since I binge read everything I could get my hands on for the same reasons. I really liked Harry Potter though

>>18207079
shit, those were great

Did anyone else read these books about cats who lived in different clans? For some reason I read the shit out of them. I must have been younger than 10.

>>18206836
I was autistic as a child but this goosebumps book scared me so much as a kid that i took the book to somewhere else in the forest and buried it. I've moved away since then but I wonder if some kid stumbled upon the book and read it... that would make for a spooky folktale

Earliest thing I can remember.

>>18206836
dinosaur encyclopedias

>>18207244
Yeah. Before I read the Silmarillion I really enjoyed the Appendix on LOTR 3, it was my favorite part to reread, despite the boring family trees here and there.

These.

cringe. Its basically the reddit history indoctrination series.

>>18206836
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Read the first six books

>>18207191

>Alice in Wonderland
>Winnie the Pooh
>anything by Roald Dahl
>Wind in the Willows
>Tom Sawyer

I can't disagree.

Anyone remember a story or stories about some kid getting stuck inside an egyptian video game and had friends that reincarnated in the real world or some shit. All to do with egyptian mythology and what not

>>18206836
I had these books confiscated after my mom fell victim to the ketchup packets I left under the toilet seat.

>>18206836

>>18207505
Goosebumps was awesome. I got nightmares from it, but I still liked it so I hid the books from my mother and pretended I was not having bad dreams.

>>18206836

>>18207477
Yes, between those and the Redwall series I think I was a closet furry as a kid.

>>18208801
I'm convinced Redwall is the most patrician children's book series

>>18208480
Those skew a bit older. I mean like younger than 6.

Quentin Blake illustrated Shakespeare stories. Great birthday present from the grandparents that one

Probably the Alex Storm books.
>>18207412
Tintin is excellent. I had The Broken Ear as a kid and loved it.

>>18206836

>>18208934
Certainly leagues above a lot of the other shit kids read

>>18206836
I cant remember the name of the book but it started with
>a band of dirty pirates
>who sailed the 7 seas
>a band of dirty pirates
>who all had dirty knees

still one of my favorites

Anne McCaffrey's Pern books, and Tamora Pierce's The Immortals series. I also really liked the Stargate novelization.

>>18206836
this one. I only found out it was a sequel years later, and I don't think I ever read the first one. It's way better that way.

Here's a few that stuck with me for a long time:
>The Bronze Bow
>Pretty much any Scott O'Dell book, but especially the Captive trilogy.
>David Gemmell fantasy books

>>18206836
As an none English speaker this.
Its Fairy tales rewritten to be as absurd and offensive as possible for children

Animorphs, shit was darker than it first seemed. The girl on the cover started off as a preppy cheerleader type until she started fighting aliens and realized she loved bloodshed/got addicted to violence. There's also a boy that gets stuck as a hawk. Pretty fucked up

>>18208648
Kino books for kiddos

The alchemist and the secret garden are my picks so far.

>>18207477
Yeah, I used to check those out from the library. Redwall and Artemis Fowl too.

The Critique of Pure Reason unironically. Gladly I grew up and don't waste my time on philosophy anymore.

>>18206836
A Series of Unfortunate Events, by far. I loved the lore and mystery that slowly unraveled in each book. (I still go back and read pic related every now and then as a guilty pleasure)

>>18206836

>>18208639
Unbelievably based

>>18212192
Based, wasn't that the one that had several black pages meant to introduce the darkness of the elevator? That whole series was great at vaguely gesturing at these huge conspiracies that are forever just out of sight of the reader in ways that encouraged ideation and honestly every child should read it.

Some people have already posted but
>Animorphs
>Captain Underpants
>Everything by Paul Zindel (spanning pure lit to schlock,Raptor and Loch were my favorites)
>Deltora Quest
>Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
>Harry Potter series
>

My nigga
My school librarian in elementary school would go through boxes just to see if she could find the missing entries for me.

>>18207477
I loved those books as well. In hindsight, it was surprisingly dark for a children's series. I remember one of the cats was forced to watch his daughter get executed by cat Hitler for being a mixed race mutt, but he couldn't say anything because he was spying on them through the bushes, and that'd reveal his position.

>>18206836
>>18206860
excellent for honestly, Capitan underpants was a working class hero. I am still waiting for someone to be honest and say harry potter.
>>18207505
of course someone would

>>18206836
another good one

anyone else read these badboys?

>>18206836

Island of the Blue Dolphins

The Hobbit

>>18206860
Early dragon ball was kino.

I used to love the audio CD you got from cereal
