Re: Favorite Childhood Books

[quote=dusk;734425]Correct me if I'm wrong; but I think it goes like this -

If you follow the chronological order of the series:

1. The Magician's Nephew
2. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
3. The Horse and His Boy
4. Prince Caspian
5. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
6. The Silver Chair
7. The Last Battle

Readers argue that the books must be read in the order in which they were first published:

1. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
2. Prince Caspian
3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
4. The Silver Chair
5. The Horse and His Boy
6. The Magician's Nephew
7. The Last Battle.

Although the originally published order is not chronological, it does enhance the process of discovery about the magical world of Narnia IMHO.[/quote]

yea, the first list is how i read that he intended them to be read and the second list is how i read them in the box set i bought as a kid.

steve what order is your box set in?

Re: Favorite Childhood Books

I remember the two annual awards given out for children literature were the Newbery Medal & the Caldecott Medal (this is the one that Where the Wild Things Are had won!)

Taking look at the lists here [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newbery_Medal[/URL] [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caldecott_Medal[/URL]

Looks like I've only read a handful from each list :p
