When does childhood end? I'd say as a real youngin I guess the Clifford books. As a mid youngin I'd go with Lord of the Rings.

That's easy: Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. My obsession with Alice led directly to my studies in literature and then English.

I don't think I read it for myself until I was about nine, but my mom read it to me when I was... maybe five or six. And I regularly watched film adaptations throughout my childhood, too. Actually, I still watch them, but now I'm analyzing them much more.

Hmmmm I can totally see that. It's interesting the nuances you pick up as you get older.
The first time I read To Kill a Mockingbird I was maybe 6 or 7 and I got most of it, but didn't understand why, when the kids snuck out and followed Atticus and then talked to the group of men, that they were in trouble. Then as a teenager I re-read it and realized that it was a lynch mob To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others.

Little Sister Baby Sitters club books (which no one else I know remembers!) Everyone talks about the regular baby sitters club books, but these were for younger kids.

Steg, as Lili said it implies to two generations had kids at 19 or 20 which is fine. I like Heidi and To Kill a Mockingbird, both neat books. And I do indeed remember those Babysitter's little sister books about Karen, I didn't fancy them myself, I loved the regular Babysitters Clubs from age 9 to 11, right after I turned 11 I moved along to other fair. But in third and fourth grade they were super cool.
