    Favorite childhood story characters ...

    It's nostalgia time!
    Who are some of your favorite story characters from your childhood?
    If you are still in your childhood, what can you dredge from your early childhood?

      After seeing your list, I've got to add Eeyore (spelling?).

      I loved Eeyore too....

      My favorite book when I was a baby was 'The Little Engine that Could', according to my parents, but I don't remember if the train had a name or not. My dad would get bored reading the story over & over again, so he would change it...and I would get upset & not let him turn the page. All this before I was 2!

      Small kids have an incredible capacity to have favorite stories repeated to them until you're about to run screaming :D My kids did that too ... and I probably did the same thing. It's amazing how someone under the age of 2 can really put her foot down too! Did you happen to keep your old book? My kids (ages 21 and 17) kept a ratty "Santa's Beard is Soft and Warm" and "Angel Bunny" to remind them of times past.

      I am pretty sure that I still have the book somewhere - probably up in the rafters of my parent's garage.

      I also have to add Betsy, Tacy, and Tib.

      I was wondering about adding Dick and Jane.
      I think I can still recite some of those books from memory.
      They may have been the first books I could read on my own.

      Little Red Riding Hood, I can remember repeating the story everyday at "story time" when I was in pre-school. I couldn't quite understand why Little Red Riding Hood disobeyed her mother and got into so much trouble, I thought she should just have listened... LOL!

      When I was older one of the stories that stuck in my head was The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - I later bought the complete stories of Narnia and read the whole thing as an adult.

      Narnia definitely was up there.
      I liked the oldest sister best.

      I also was into the Prydain series by Lloyd Alexander.
