I have fond memories of the library in the small town that I grew up in. I used to go there with my dad every week and just sit in the kids' section and page through the books. I was five when the librarian allowed me to check out my very first book by myself. I couldn't read it yet, but I really loved the smell of the book and the illustrations were of an overweight lady wearing a giant hat on a bus, which I found really funny.
After that first time I was allowed to check out books by myself, I continued going to the library every week all throughout my school years. Even though I probably read all the books in the library by the time I was 18, there was one book that I probably checked out a hundred times. This was my favorite childhood book; Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Although I only read the English version for the first time in grade six, I read the Afrikaans version, Charlie en die Sjokolade Fabriek, many many times before that. I really love all of Roald Dahl's books, but this one was by far my favorite. I don't know why I didn't just buy the book...
What is your favorite childhood book?
I like the story of Charlie in the chocolate factory. I used to imagine about the wonder world of chocolate :)

Maybe my love of chocolate comes from reading this book so many times :-)
DeleteDis omdat sy so lief is vir choclates dat sy die boek so baie moes lees.....
ReplyDeleteMamma weet mos. Geen wonder ons verorber altyd 'n slab elk as ek by die huis is nie, ne? :-D
DeleteI love Roald Dahl!!! My favorite book of his was BFG! I never bought Charlie and the Chocolate factory, I kept missing it during book fairs. But I manage to buy the sequel- Charlie and the glass elevator.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I loved that one, too! I actually feel like reading all the books again! :-)
DeleteNice post.
