No? Ok then.

FUCK YEAH TIME CAT

There you go, OP.

GRIMBOLD'S OTHER WORLD FUCK YEAR.

That book was teh shit.

YES!
The Tiger That Came To Tea

it ate all the dinner that Sophie's mummy had prepared
it ate all the food in the cupboards
it drank all of daddy's beer
it drank all of mummy's tea
it drank all of Sophie's orange squash
and all the water in the tap.
Sophie's daddy came home from work and the tiger went home.
Sophie's mummy and daddy took Sophie to a cafe for tea instead
And the next day, Sophie's mummy bought a tin of Tiger Food in case it came to tea again.

I would like to revise my earlier synopsis. After finding the story again www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pZxvxmry4A i have found that the eating occurred in a different order and there were elements i missed. After all, i wouldn't like you all to miss out on the sad ending i had blocked from my mind ;_;

any amelia bedelia fans up in here?

HARRY POTTER FUCK YEAR

i got those books as a present for christmas before anyone even knew what Harry Potter was.

Also, HIS DARK MATERIALS. :D:D:D:D:D:D

>>7213224
FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

NOSTALGIA DESTRUCTION!

Jesus, Beezus

If you give a mouse a cookie, he'll want a glass of milk.
If you give him a glass of milk he'll want to check for a milk mustache in the mirror.
If he checks in the mirror he
ll notice he has to shave...
Etc.

I still love that book but haven't seen it in over a decade.

>>7212797
I was too scared to read this book because of the cover.

captain underpants.
babysitter's club.
goosebumps.

This was the book everyone in the class fought over.

>>7213442
I remember reading those books as a kid and always thinking, "SHIT DAMN WOMAN YOU ARE THICK". Not in those words though, of course.

Hell yes, you were the best reading-time book.

>>7213442
Oh mah god.

>>7212797

holy shit i read this

also,
The 21 balloons
Hatchet

>>7216859
I never read my brother's extensive Animorphs library, but did I spend hours upon bracing hours with the flipbook animations in the bottom-right corners of the books? You bet your ass I did, mister.

Vagina incoming. Derp.

>>7216982
I never read Hatchet, but I did read the sequel, Bryan's Winter, oddly enough.

>>7212797
oh my god!
bunnicula! i fucking loved that book when i was young!

>>7217108
oh damn. i remember renting that from the library and my grandma reading it to me ;_;
lol

>>7217102
I assume you saw the catzilla one, then remembered this? Yeah, so did I.

>>7216859
If you ever wanted to read them again, all of them are online.
http://animorphsforum.com/ebooks/
Never finished the series as a kid so read them for shits and giggles last summer. Holy crap does it get grimdark at the end. Suicide missions and murder ahoy.

>>7217117
Those books scared the shit out of me. TV show did too.
Still watched/read them to death.

>>7217047
AH SHIT SON, YOU JUST BROUGHT OUT THE BIG GUNS ON ME.

I GUESS THAT MEANS IT'S TIME FOR A FINAL SOLUTION.

FUCK YEAR BUNNICULA NOSTALGIA BOMBIN' FUCKING HARDCORE

No? Anyone?
mootblox

fffffffffffffffffffuck yeeeeeeeeaahh

This made me sick to my stomach, literally.

wsgsdfgdgdfgdfgd

For some reason my mother was very irritated by this book. Ican't remember why.

Fuck yeah Jan Brett

>>7213224
YOU JUST GOT, NOSTOLBOMBED

holy shit I loved this book forever.

>>7217199
Elaborate.
agagsdvcx

>>7217191

fucking loved those god damn books. I still have Martin the warrior and Salasmanderstron at my house.
Jesus those books ARE my 3rd-7th grade years.

More nostolgia, for those who've read it, one of the best dystopia books to date.

7th Grade Weirdo

Oh god. This was the story of my life when I was in 7th grade too ;_;

Nostalgia-inn

>>7217191
that was more like middle school reading for me.
i remember this annoying kid that sat behind me in maths used to read those books.

>>7217270

I love this fucking book so much.

Question: was this or was this not the most celebrated and intense series of novels in your childhood? Wait, don't even answer, you don't have to.

>>7217066
Hell yeah, Louis the janitor (that's what he was, right?) was awesome! Also, Beebee Gunn, the fastest drawer in the West.

I think everyone who read this wanted to live in the Met for a while.

>>7217228
I read it one morning. After finishing I felt horrible, sort of stuck in a parallel universe, and threw up all afternoon and evening.
I re-read it a few months later. Same.
You can check wikipedia...

>>7217191
I love this series.

Munsch up in this!

This is my most potent nostalgia ammunition.

>>7217360
What? What planet are you even from?

I work in a public library and often deal with children's books. The first year on the job was a HUGE FUCKING NOSTALGIABOMB whenever I picked up a book that I read when I was a kid.

Now I'm immune to book nostalgiabombs. Enjoy your thread, rowboats, I'm going to go cry in a corner now.

>>7217399
Youve got to be kidding? Jillian Jiggs ran my elementary school.

>>7217360

I MADE LIKE MILLIONS OF THOSE LITTLE FUCKERS WHEN I WAS LIKE 10

HAVE MY BABIES

This book was my life.

>>7216859
There will never be a children's series that ever beats Animorphs.

If a mouse can fashion tiny overalls for himself, I'm sure he can also make his OWN DAMN COOKIES, thank you very much.

>>7212797
>>7213442
FUUUUUUUUUUUUU--you took me all the way back!

I nostalgia'd so hard.

i loved scary stories to tell in the dark.
shit scared me so bad.. i think i still have that book packed up somewhere.

Yessssss fucking favorite book EVER
I like how the quarters would make noise in her purse

This, I just remembered this.

6th grade memories

i love this thread.

and how has this not been posted yet?

>>7212797
Someones reaching.

>>7217606
That negro was such a badass.

>>7217752
Wrong quoted post.

>>7217731
I meant it for this one.

mr magnolia has only one boot

AHH, AN EARLY READING THREAD. at least we know there'll be no Americans in this one, unless someone post a goosebumps jpg.

any wind in the willows fans?

>>7217117

oh shit son. nostalgia'blockd

I remember going to a friends house and decoding the elven hieroglyphics shit.
Good times.

fuck yeah these books were the shit

Might be a bit later than childhood. Like early teens.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_the_Cowdog

All of 'em.

and alot of what Bruce Covelle wrote, I read as a kid. Thems were the days..

The cover gave me nightmares.

>>7217731
THAT weak shit? Please, the Butter Battle Book is where it's at. Those amazing weapons he drew are possibly among the ten most influential images I can remember from my childhood. It's a crying shame I can't find decent pictures of any of them on Google; you'd think some awesome dude would've put up some high-res scans somewhere.

>>7217884
Oh wow, YES.

what was that picture book with the kid and he had a snow day, and shook the snow off trees and dragged sticks in the snow to make tracks, and all the big kids had a bigass snowball fight at night?

>>7212797
I tried so fucking hard to get my parents to name our dog 'Taxi' after the dog that appeared in the sequels....something something at Howlday Inn, and The Celery Stalks at Midnight

also I have the feeling I was the only kid reading Tom Clancy in elementary but fuck it it had a sweet cover.

>>7217847
This does not qualify. Leave now.

>>7219325
I read a fuck-ton of Clancy in 7th-9th grade, if that counts.

you guys are fucking weak. I listened to books on tape every time we got in the car. Since I was about 4 I listened to all the Hannibal books, a shit load of Tom Clancy, and a butt load of Stephen King. This combination makes for an exceptional person.

>>7219325
I read Clancy in elementary, but it was Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. Rainbow Six wasn't out until I was in high school.

>>7213442
>>7217088
>>7217108
This shit got me so so good. Thanks arcanine.
Also, I remember buying the Redwall books, like 6 of them, because a lot of people read them and said they were cool. I let them gather dust because I thought they were boring as fuck though. And I felt bad because I made my parents buy me a bunch.

Same thing with Artemis Fowl.

I remember in 4th grade we needed to read a book for a book report, and being the advanced reading little bastard that I was, I read Watership Down. I enjoyed my 400-page book about rabbits.

Almost 15 years later, I had this sudden realization, like a "EUREKA!" moment, where I realized that the book wasn't about bunnies at all. It came to me out of the blue, when I wasn't doing anything related to the book.

And then I felt really, really stupid for not realizing it sooner.

I'm gonna go out on a pretty short limb here and reach for a general consensus among us:

This red bar taught us more than any of our gradeschool teachers combined.

4th grade or around there, this book was OMFG SO DEEP HOLY SHIT DYSTOPIAN/UTOPIAN SOCIETIES AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY

>>7219759
ZOMG THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT COLOR IS THAT IS SO DEEP!!!!

Not even making fun. One of my first mindfucks right there.

>>7219759
This book rocked my fucking world man.
Shaped my entire outlook on life when I was in 4th grade.
I think I'm going to dig that up and read it this weekend.

>>7217047
>>7217047
>>7217047
>>7217047
>>7217047
>>7217047
FFFFUUUUU I LOVED THIS BOOK!!

>>7219759

Awesome book. In retrospect, it was also a really good introduction for the more advanced dystopian literature we had to read in HS.

i baww'd at the ending.

>>7219635
I think I read Patriot Games and The Hunt for Red October first, but Rainbow Six was def out when I was in elementary.

>>7219759
it was alright, I guess. we read that shit in 8th grade. Rhode Island public education sucked massive penis. I was reading in 7th grade what I read in 4th grade in Massachusetts. and yes, I read in 4th grade as school material.

>>7219862
D'oh shit I forgot that noise.
Fucking whiny kid that got to live as a fucking hawk what the fuck?

>>7217047
>>7217560
I think I nostalgia'd at these the most, especially Kat Kong. I remember how my dad would read it to me and overact the shit out of it. So good.

God I love this thread.

Arturo FUCK YES. This was a good book for self absorbed kids like myself, as it accidentally reinforces a "fuck you I can do this on my own" mentality. Oh well.

>>7219179

YEARGH BUTTER SIDE UP BITCH

I'm so happy to know that so many of you guys loved Kat Kong too, because I guess I always assumed it wasn't so well-known (Dogzilla was pretty great too, though!)

Now PLEASE tell me I can get an amen on this one.

GET OFF MY LAWN COMMIE

>>7212797
wow op i thought i was the only one who read those bunny vampire stories lol u made me nostalgia real good!
ty!

>>7213224
I've never heard of that book, but I'd like to start reading it just so I could be seen in public behind a book cover that awesome.

>>7220041

I SHALL END YOOOOOOOU

>>7216982
>21 balloons

FUCK THANK YOU ANON. I read this way back and though I still remember some of it, I never recalled the title.

Also, I'm nostalgia'ing hard at Redwall. Fuck, those books were great.

>>7220161
This thread keeps blowing my mind.

>>7217191
Redwall has got to be my only actually PLEASANT memory of middle school.
Then I went back and reread the books and realized how much they sucked.
Also, where the fuck is Captain Underpants all up in this bitch?

The Woodland Folk.

this thread is full of nostalgia win

>>7220142
I can't be bothered with this escalation crap. I'm going straight for the big guns.

How the fuck can you have this thread without some Thomas the Tank Engine?
I always laughed when he said "pooo, pooo"

>>7220308
omg. i fucking loved that book.

Read this right after I saw the movie.
Was dismayed by the lack of an awesome bad guy and epic sword fight scene in the book, but it was still some pretty tight shit.

Sequels fucking murdered it for me (and I mean both the book and movie sequels... that was some unnecessary bullshit)

goosebumps is why im so fucked up.


>this thread makes me sad.

>>7220342
Thank god someone else read them.

THERE ARE ROX IN MY SOX SAID THE OX TO THE FOX

Highlights, anyone?

Also, I can't remember the name of a book series I used to read. It had a mouse, and he taught science stuff.

Every time I picked up a Raold Dahl book, I was reading my own biography.
True fact.

>>7220388
dude, i think i stiull HAVE them.

amazing imagination in them.

still have this book somewhere.

reading this used to make me so hungry.

>>7220475
derp, forgot picture

His Dark Materials.
Read when I was eleven, blew my mind with how awesome it was.
I totally wanted to be Lord Asriel.

This was my favorite book as a kid. I spent hours looking at this.

>>7220544
for me it was some book about airplanes that had an orange and white cover.
it had an awesome pic of a 747 and several cutaway pics of old school passenger aircraft.
but i forget what it was called. :/

>>7220544
DK HISTORY OF THE WORLD FUCK YEARRR

>>7220010

DEAR FUCKING GAWD YES, HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE

also, "amen" if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy

>>7217117

THERE'S NO LINE!

This changed how I saw the world.

!>>7220010

My mother bought this for me when I was small from an op shop. All the mazes had been coloured in with permanant marker, but I was still young enough to enjoy tracing over them. Felt godo man.

>>7217932
oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu i just nostalgia'd so god damn hard

>>7220323

Oh you think this is over just because you throw around some nukes? It's fucking on, bitch. Black hole time.

>>7220735

Is no one going to stop the red menace?

>>7216816

Pretty sure it's just underage b& like me that has EC memories of that.

>>7213251
>daddy's beer

GODFUCKINGDAMMIT
I miss the days when a kid's book could reference alcohol without a thousand conservitards shitting themselves over how much it's P'LOOTING THEY'RE MINDZ!!1!!

I read the SHIT out of the X-Wing novels back in 5th and 6th grade.

Most folks childhood heroes are Batman and Ninja Turtles and stuff. Mine were X-Wing pilots.

>>7213442

I always thought she was stupid. Not because EEWW GIRLS or anything, I just... I don't know.

>>7220825
no, I'm pretty sure she was a retard.

>>7220822
It was all about the Young Jedi Knights books for me as a kid. I went from that and the other one that featured Anakin and the blonde girl, then the New Republic books, then I kind of lost track. Now I've picking up the pieces.

>>7219955

Dude. Dude. Dude. Duuuuude.

I could've sworn I was the only one who had that book; I just assumed it was massively unpopular due to the fagtastic title.

Polk Street School, anyone?

Good Families Don't instilled a healthy respect for farts and potty humor in me from an early age. Great design of the fart monster, too.

>>7216859
I had almost all of them. Read them all at least twice.

Rachel ;___;

YOU ARE ALL FAGGOTS

I GOT MY FIRST CHEST HAIR IN 5TH GRADE AFTER READING THIS

I Iove you Mom.

>>7221933
God damn that kid was fucking manly thanks for reminding me of that book

>>7216816
FUCK! This book right here! Sure, I remember Animorphs more vividly, but Stinky Cheese man dropped a nostalgia-bomb on me HARD!

FUUUUUCK! That book had to be the book to end all children books!

FUCK YEAH RALPH

>>7221933
FUCKING PUKE BERRIES!

>>7222031
You can make anything move like a real vehicle as long as you make the proper sound effects

Which also reminds me of Witches. Sure, I only saw the movie that was based off the book and never read it, but still, if the book was as good as the movie, it's worth mentioning.

>>7221933

hatchet made me join boy scouts.

kid was a natural 20 ranger

This book made me wish I was raised by wolves.

I had heard there were more books in this series after this one, but I can never find them. Too old to be looking for them now anyway I guess.

If this one doesn't get you, then you have no soul! Also, props on the various Roald Dahl books that were posted.

different book, same experience

>>7221933
FUCK YEAH HATCHET

THIS MOTHER FUCKER WAS ONLY 14, BUT HE KILLED THE SHIT OUT OF CAMOUFLAGED BIRDS AND RABBITS AND MADE WEAPONS FROM THEIR SKIN

/R9K/'S NECKBEARD POPULATION WOULD WITHER AND DIE IN A MATTER OF HOURS IN THE SAME SITUATION

this is a picture of the book "The Indian in the Cupboard"

>>7220418
>>7223374
Fuck YEA!!!
Awesome books!

It's Avi motherfuckers. Loved this shit. Redwall as well.

>>7220712
FUCKING THIS. This rocked my world, piqued my interest in technology, I knew so much more than other kids. They would read Capt Underpants and shit, but i'd stick to this.

This is the reason why I joined up with the Airforce and majored in Engineering in Uni.

Also, first book to make me cry: Where the Redfern grows. Also what the fuck why is the image not original. :<

Magicians Nephew, introduced concepts of
mutliverse
Atlantis
time/space travel
terafoming new universes, planets
the unspeakable word

Also
Human life a medical type book
Motor car
Richard Scarry
Ba
Mr. Men

and
the magic finger,
this helped consolidate my mactophilia, i wanted the girl to shrink me and dominate me

also lady birds Gulliver edition, wanted to be held by gulmitxh or whatever her name was, and to live in her panties, filled with her pee, wile on and swim about, also there was swing set in her panties, as you can imagine i was imaging us a microscopic scale, her pussy, was huge above me ...these dream made me so erotic, i was about 4

Many of the things which can never be, often are.
