Weekly Question 3

Weekly Question 3
What were your favorite books as a child, specifically in your elementary school years?

I was quite fortunate to have some books as a child since I was an only child till I was 12 years old. I clearly remember my Cowboy and Dolls Around the World (wearing different costumes) coloring books. The Cowboy coloring books had lots of photos about life in the farm/ranch and I remember coloring one arm differently from the other arm, or one pant leg differently from the other one (chuckles).

For reading, I had Bible picture books and Science Encyclopedia. I also had a lot of hardbound storybooks from the USA, given by relatives. I love reading these books with many wonderful pictures and adventures in different countries. These books are still in my parents house.

In school, I used to love reading the Golden Book books/series in the library, especially the fairy tales or those with Disney characters.

Now that I have three children, I make sure that they have lots of books to read which I get from bargain bookstores :)

    Hi Julie! Sorry I was not able to post for last week. My post for this WQ is up na. :)

    We both enjoyed encyclopedias pala. It’s where my fascination with books started, actually. I’d also like my kids to develop the love for reading, so whenever we can, we go to Books for Less or BookSale. Great bargains there!

    Favorite ko din ang Golden Book series. In fact, I’ve acquired several already for the Hezzies.

    BTW, you’re tagged!

    Hi Julie. Sorry I missed joining. I’ll join next week.

    When I was a young girl, my favorite book was Heidi.

    Thanks for dong this, Tina, as I have said, no rush really, you can even do this midweek or even later than that :)

    I have been tagged by that meme though I still haven’t done it yet, maybe its time for me to do it :D

    Rachel, Heidi is a very good book. If only children are still able to get their hands off their gadgets to read, they would be able to discover the wonders of reading :)

    Thanks and I have emailed the WQ4 already.
