 So, what was your favorite childhood book?  Or your favorite kid book? 

(There is a purpose to this.  It involves helping children learn how to read.  So tell me!)

Scrub: Dog of Alaska (Walt Morey) and Otherwhere, by I don't know who and I've never been able to find it again and that kills me because I sure wish I could. Probably 75% of the books I read as a kid were animal oriented in some way, most often also action and/or survival oriented. I consumed them by the library. (The Black Stallion Books, the Silver Chief books, anything Morey wrote, anything Montgomery or Kjelgard or Terhune wrote, etc). The other 25% were SF ... The Iron Cage (Andre Norton), The White Mountains trilogy (John Christopher) and the A Wrinkle in Time trilogy (Madeline L'Engle) were particular favorites, as well as anything by Alan Dean Foster (although that was more in the young adult category than "kid").
