I was going through my books today and came across my copy of The Velvet Room by Zilpha Keatley Snyder. This was such a favorite book when I was a kid that a few years ago I paid $40.00 to get another copy of it. I'd read the pages right out of the one I had as a kid. When I re-read it as an adult, I was overjoyed to find out that the book had lost none of it's charm. I spent a few delightful hours reliving childhood memories of Robin's adventures.
This got me thinking about my classmates and what might be your favorite book from childhood. I've always thought our tastes in what we read are influenced by what we read as children. I read practically anything I could get my hands on, so my tastes are very varied. What are your tastes like? What do you like to read best and why? Do you think that has helped you or hindered you in this class?
