Nostalgic Childhood Books

By Caroline Rice

Have you ever thought back to your childhood and remembered your mom reading you books?

The Berenstain Bears is a classic. I’m pretty sure every child has read at least one book about this family. The Berenstain Bears is a long series about a family of four adventuring and learning life lessons--the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Remember Strega Nona and her magic pasta pot? If you didn’t, eat a whole box of spaghetti and maybe your stomach will remember the timeless tales of an Italian grandmother with a touch of magic.

Have your parents ever told you, “Don’t feed your pet too much or they will get fat!” Well in The Mysterious Tadpole a boy did exactly what parents keep nagging you not to do. He might have fed his tadpole just a little too many cheeseburgers.

Sylvester And The Magic Pebble is basically a story about a donkey who wished for a little more than he actually needed. Greed got the best of him and he got what he asked for. But maybe he regrets it once he gets what he wants.

Dr. Seuss, what an OG. Green Eggs and Ham is about the desperation or should I say the continuation of nagging someone about a simple question, “ Do you like green eggs and ham?” until they finally give up and say yes.

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go."

- Dr. Seuss
