There were a lot of books in the series, with black and white illustrations. We used to trade them in school, colouring the illustrations with coloured pencils, reading the stories and talking about them.
I had picrel

what a question... as a young child I liked Kipling's Just So Stories.

A little later I liked The Railway Children, The Secret Garden, Paddington Bear, Dolittle, some others. After that I started reading longer books like Treasure Island, Where the Red Fern Grows, The Tripods series, Sherlock Holmes, White Fang, the Hobbit, Verne, Defoe, Twain, etc., an abridged Count of Monte Cristo, The Mysterious Benedict Society, Asimov, Clarke, etc. From 6-7 years old I spent every weekday at the library from after school until closing time, from 8-11 I remember going a couple times a week. By the time I was 12 I had read hundreds of books, a lot of garbage (HP, Eragon, that Charlie Bone series), sure, but more or less evenly matched with decent books. But then something happened, the pace of my reading drastically slowed during that year. At 13 I was hardly reading anything at all. I had stopped reading altogether at 14.

Posting all this because I'm curious to know if this happened to anyone else.

I re-read think it last year and i would say it holds up to reading as an adult, in part because the characters are characters rather than the generic every-child thrust into fantastical situations which is found in most children’s books. I would still count it among my favourite books, though I’ll say that the Toad narrative, while it is the core of the book and is very entertaining, lacks the more moving qualities of the episodic chapters about Rat and Mole

>>20122885
Absolutely loved the first book, read it over and over. I found the sequels frustrating because of the backslide of character development

Also wonderful were Lemony Snicket's books, Deltora Quest, and the ubiquitous Harry Potter.

My unshared treasure was Another Day, Another Dungeon. Looking back now, it's clearly in the "my DND campaign" genre, but I still think it's funny and as a kid there was nothing else like it in my life.

It's really good. The premise was that all the adults and teenagers of the world vanish. So, the story follows the young girl and her brother trying to survive. Kids end up forming their own gangs, groups, and such too, just trying to figure out how to survive. The girl is pretty much on her own though with her brother, and she is the first kid to think of trying to drive a car, which gives her and her brother advantages over everyone else. I can't remember everything, but it had me pretty hooked when I was a kid.
