What books did you love as a child?
Submitted by hearts.
I was a big fan of Roald Dahl and Daniel (Manus) Pinkwater. Pinkwater's earlier stuff is great (Lizard Music and the Hoboken Chicken Emergency stand out in my mind), but he's gotten a little too goofy and cutesy in the past several years. Dahl is just great, both his fiction and his autobiographical stuff.

i feel like i should have remembered him as well. i often think about his books. mmmm… george's marvelous medicine… one of the best.
I also remember being completely confused by the name. Even into early adulthood…."Roald?"
ha ha! that's great! I also remember being unnerved by that name…didn't seem possible.
