    Okay, I'll admit it. I even still have it somewhere, squirrelled away in a box in the attic. Good book.

    Yep. Misty of Chincoteague was one we did. Charlottes Web, too.

    Brighty of the Grand Canyon is one I remember.

    The 21 Balloons was another good one, too.

    The Incredible Journey

    All books that teachers read to us.

    Not me but then again I grew up on the other side of the pond.

    My author of choice as a child was always Enid Blyton.

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

    The other big read for me at that time were all the Br'er Rabbit books which I just found out were re-worked by Blyton so maybe I read her versions and not the originals I thought I read.

    I've never heard of it. I learned how to read from the early works of Robert Heinlein, Issac Asimov, and Ray Bradbury...

    Never heard of it. But in 1991 I was the Navy's Lead Manpower Analyst for the Pacific Fleet surface ships.
