Old Mother West Wind by Thorton W Burgess.
Mr Burgess, Peter Cottontail, Johnny Chuck, Bobby Racoon, Prickly Porky, Blacky the Crow, et al, were friends of mine. They lived 3 miles away.

I loved every book I ever read when I was a kid, but when I was real small, my favorite was Mother, Mother, I Feel Sick! Send for the Doctor Quick, Quick, Quick!
It was supposed to be done as a shadow play (backlit actors behind a sheet, so all you could see was their silhouettes - sp?) It was about a little boy who has a bellyache, and the doctor removes things like lamps, birds, bicycles, etc. from his stomach. I was completely amazed, since at age 4, I assumed the kid had actually eaten these things. My mom read it to me 1,484,403,489 nights in a row. After that, I got into Curious George, and most of the Babar books. There was another one I'm wracking my brain to remember the title of....It had a steam engine named Mike. Mike couldn't dig as fast as the new diesel versions, so he was going to be replaced. Then he rescued someone (like the site foreman), and everyone thought he was da shit. Then Star Wars came out, and I never read anything but Star Wars related crap for the rest of my preteen life. Then it was porn. |

I was a huge Enid Blyton fan as a kid ( Famous five, Folk of the Faraway tree etc) but I think the series that totally got me more than any other was the Narnia series.....I used to lie there at night wishing I could crawl through the wardrobe into a snowy woodland and meet Mr Tumnus the faun and Aslan the lion
