Which Would You Choose?

On Facebook my town library asked, if you had to be trapped in a children's book for a month, which one would you choose? I would choose:



If you're not familiar with the story, armed with his purple crayon, Harold is a little boy who draws his way in and out of trouble while trying to find his way home.

    I would choose the Chronicles of Narnia, I so want to go through that wardrobe and land somewhere else! Valerie

      I didn't know that series until the Young One was in elementary school. We both didn't care for it preferring Lord of the Rings

    I am not familiar with this one-sounds too fun. sadly I don't really remember a children's book-and my Mom always took us three kids to the library every two weeks to load up on new books.

      My dad took me to the library every Saturday while the poor Brother got saddled with accordion lessons

    What an adorable choice. I don't even remember any books from my childhood, although I would receive an award every summer because I read at least 100 books (and answered written questions to prove I'd read the book when I turned it back in). The library was always my friend back then.

      It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.

      Pablo Picasso

    this is a hard question to answer and would take some thinking.....a book geared for teens though; hands down Nancy Drew !!! ☺☺♥♥

    I love the Harold and the Purple Crayon books! My kids enjoyed them when they were little, though I wasn't familiar with them 'til then.

    I pick The Wind in the Willows.

    That's a good question. Mine would be One Morning In Maine. But I do love the Harold books. Thanks for sharing the facebook question!

      I thought it was fun to see what books people loved as kids.
