I spend my days immersed in children's books, usually the newest and yet to be published. But some of my favorites are still the ones I read as a kid. Maybe you read some of these too. What do you remember?

Here's a little quiz to test your children's literarure knowledge/memory:

1. In the children's book Abel's Island, how long is Abel

oh boy. some of your books I've never even read! Abel's Island, wheel on the school and cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

Nancy Drew was first published in the 20s, right? She was considered pretty risque at the time.

Big Friendly Giant. I love Roald Dahl. I found a rather well worn original print of James and Giant Peach at a thriftstore.

The name of the land in Phantom Tollbooth? ooh boy, um, I DO remember he eats his words, has to save rhyme and reason and early in the journey they all jump to the island of conclusions. That is one of my favorite books.

I haven't even thought about Julie and the Wolves in years!

Never a big Ramona Quimby fan. I think she reminded me of bratty younger sister too much.

"Some Pig"

Here's a contributed question: What animal did the younger brother swallow whole in Judy Blume's 'tales of a fourth grade nothing'?

4.) Big Friendly Giant
12.) He gets gum in his hair.

That's all I can remember.

I think I could probably contribute to the science fiction genre as well, or at least I'd like to think so..
