36 Childhood Books That Every 2000s Kid Grew Up Reading
There was nothing like the comfort a book could give you as a child, whether it came from the words or the pictures. So here, for your nostalgic pleasure, are some of your childhood favorites. Eloise by Kay Thompson Eloise's adventures at the Plaza Hotel made me dream of visiting New York City as a little girl. The movies starring Sofia Vassilieva are just as cute! Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak Maurice Sendak's imagination knows no bounds. The "wild things" he dreamed up sure look strange, but they come across as friendly rather than fearsome. Curious George by Margaret Rey and H.A. Rey Everyone loves a mischievous little monkey. Looking back, the Man in the Yellow Hat was just as precious. Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed by Eileen Christelow What's better than a mischievous little monkey? Five of them. Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems Seriously, don't let him! This book had me cracking up at the library. The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister The Rainbow Fish books had the most gorgeous illustrations. Just look at those beautiful blues, greens, and purples. The Arthur Books by Marc Brown It's safe to say that Arthur is everyone's favorite anthropomorphic aardvark. Life wasn't always easy for this bespectacled creature, but with friends like Buster and Francine by his side, he could find his way out of any dilemma. A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon Whether or not you loved lima beans like Camilla as a child, this book's message of self-acceptance hit hard. It's no wonder that teachers often use it to teach kids about the importance of staying true to themselves. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst Even on a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, this book is sure to bring a smile to any reader's face. There's a little bit of Alexander in all of us. Love You Forever by Robert Munsch It's rare to see a children's book that spans several decades — but Love You Forever has a broad scope, showing how a mother's love for her son endures as time passes. The final twist just might make you tear up. The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Eric Carle and Bill Martin Jr No, David! by David Shannon The Mitten by Jan Brett The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn The Berenstain Bears' Books by Stan & Jan Berenstain Stellaluna by Janell Cannon Miss Nelson is Missing! by Harry Allard Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson Corduroy by Don Freeman Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney Skippyjon Jones by Judy Schachner The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss Any book by Robert Munsch There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly by Simms Taback Are You My Mother? by P. D.

'I visited the tiny library in a 100-year-old Islington phone box that lights up at night'
You may not have seen it before but nestled in a North London street is a tiny library filled with books for kids who are keen readers. On Upper Street, in front of William Tyndale Primary School, you can find the micro library inside a classic red phone box. After a 15-minute walk from Angel Tube station, I got to see the adorable library for myself. Most of the books inside it are children's and picture books, which is to be expected with it being so close to a school. So, I took a trip down memory lane thinking about how much I would have loved to have something like this close to me as a child. With books like 'The Tiger who Came to Tea', 'Where the Wild Things Are' and 'The Cat in the Hat', the Upper Street Little Library has plentiful options for little ones to get their teeth into. I flipped through some of the picture books with creases on the pages - a testament to how many times each book must have been read. READ MORE: Prime Minister extends pub opening hours for VE Day READ MORE: London's best fish and chip shops mapped among top 40 across UK The library lights up at night so one of the best times to see it glow is in the dark during winter. I visited it on a very warm day, just before the Easter holidays so the shelves were not as full, but since that must mean kids are making use of it I see that as a great sign. On the higher shelves, out of reach from the children, I saw books left by parents, like Nicholas Spark's The Lucky One, so there is something for everyone inside. Dominic McKenzie Architects designed the reimagined phone box and I had the chance to ask him about how the quirky idea came to life. He said: 'The idea is that it sort of becomes like a lighthouse or a beacon, something that promotes reading. If you stand and look at it, people walk past and get very drawn to it. It's quite extraordinary during the darker months. 'If you have kids, you tend to have this sort of churn of picture books. I think it's very well placed to be a sort of a repository and recycling those picture books.' Dominic told me the booth was an eye sore for many years, tipping over, with the roots of a large tree next to it. People walked up and down the street and at night, the phone box would often be vandalised with graffiti. Giles Gilbert Scott built the phone box more than 100 years ago, in 1924. Dominic finished its restoration in January this year. In its new form it was tilted back up and repainted to its original bright red and new bespoke shelves were placed inside. Now, the phone box is home to many books that may otherwise have been forgotten on a shelf. Stay in the loop with the latest North London news.

Well, maybe something a little more important. 'Number two would just be being around my youth group and STRIDE friends,' he said. 'All the work we put in, how much confidence, how it's strong.
