Writing about Reading: Questions for Day 4

Well, we've come to the day where we talk about the books we loved as kids. Some of our favorites, though, might be a little too "dated" for kids today: dial up telephones? radio shows? Thankfully, great writers are bridging that gap and offering kids new stories with the twists and characters we loved "back in the day." So let's jump in ...

• Is there a book from your childhood that you didn't like "back then," but that you've since re-read and liked? What was it about the book that you didn't like before?
• Do you have a favorite chapter book for reading with kids of different ages  (e.g., 4, 9, 13)?
• What book(s) has your child recommended to you that you loved?

Just a reminder for new visitors. Here's how it works ...
1. Select the question or questions that resonate with you.
2. Find an old post or write a new one that answers the question. [Be sure to grab the Share a Story button from the sidebar to include in your new post!]
3. Come back here and link your post either via the inLinxz box or as a comment.

We'll be adding links for the questions all week, so there's no rush to have an answer the same day a question is posted! Here's what we've got ...
