Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week we talk about our top ten with a different topic provided by Jana. This week’s topic is top ten – Childhood Favorites
The Magic Tree House Series by Mary Pope Osborne
Among the Hidden by Margret Peterson Haddix
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling
The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner
The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes by Anne Mazer
Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish
Wacky Wednesday by Dr. Suess
These are just a few of the books I adored when I was growing up. What books made your list this week? Let me know below!
Keep on reading lovelies, Amanda.
I loved Narnia, Harry Potter, and the Secret Garden ❤
The Boxcar Children and Amelia Bedilia were huge parts of my childhood, too!
I adored the Boxcar Children
Yay! I still have all of my Boxcar Children books and I can’t wait to give them to my son someday.
Same for me, but the Magic Tree House books!!
Oooh, I wasn’t allowed to read those as a kid, but I already have a ton of them for my son! He’s not quite two yet, but I’ve already read the first two or three to him. They’re so fun!
Amelia Bedilia! I haven’t thought about those books in so long!!!
Right? I was like that with all of these lol!
Great list! I love The Secret Garden. 🙂
I loved The Secret Garden. I heard a rumour recently that it’s going to be made into (another) film!
My TTT.
How exciting!
I read Shel Silverstein’s poetry over and over again when I was a kid. Nice pick.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Same! He’s one of my favorites!
I don’t know any of these except for Harry Potter, Narnia and Where the Sidewalk Ends. The Magic Treehouse series sounds fun though.

I don’t think I ever saw the movie!
I loved the Magic Treehouse and Abby Hayes series too! Here’s mine: https://hannahslibrary.com/2019/07/02/top-ten-tuesday-childhood-favorites/
Love The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe proper classic!
One of the few classics I like!
Magic Tree House all the way! It’s insane how long that series went on. I’m tempted to go back and read all the books I haven’t read yet.
I’m pretty sure they’re still coming out with them!
omg you’re right! I had sorted by pub date on goodreads on the author page and it had the last one as book #29 but #32 actually comes out a week from today! I haven’t even read any of the Merlin Missions and there are 27 of those!
OMG Amelia Bedelia! I totally forgot about that one! Magic Treehouse was one of my favorite series as well. I really love your list! I feel like looking at everyone’s lists makes me realize that I missed a lot of books growing up that I didn’t even think about.
Narnia books were good. My kids liked the Magic Treehouse books for a while.
