They say young minds are constantly being molded by the people around them and the activities they participate in. When I was a little kid I can't think of anything that motivated me more than my literary choices. Here is a list of the books which effected me the most:
5. Cross Country Cat
As you'll see most of my explanations don't make any sense. I loved this book, my Dad used to change the words and I would yell at him and make him re-read the right ones. This book was the 80s version of Cat-memes.
4. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
I find this more frightening now than when I was a kid. I think embracing these short stories helped me realize most scary things are fiction, but that scary fiction can be fun.
3. Fear Street
I know I'm getting into the later years here, but I started reading these when I was still in elementary school. I was a little old to really get into goosebumps because I'd already devoured most of the fear street collection. I still have several of these saved and love pulling them out for quick reads.
2. The Little Red Hen
This is a story told over and over, but I still loved reading it over and over.
1. Where's Goldie?
I loved this book since I was a baby. I used to crawl around and throw it at people. It is simple and I enjoy it just as much now as I did then. Maybe I'm a sentimental sap but if I ever buy a bird her name will be Goldie.
