Hiya all Today it was a bit of a nostgic trip going through all my things and found some books of mine which I still kept.

Even read a bit of one of them and really took me back.
The good happy times of child hood, no worries no problems.

That was one of the books my parents read too me.
Still got the whole that my parents bought, as I got older that quickly changed too car manuals.

So ladies and gents what was the book you had that your parents read too you.

I can't remember my parents ever read a book to me.
The only thing my father read,was The Racing Pigeon Weekly,being a pigeon fancier.
But being nostalgic i remember, to get me to sleep my mother would always sing the same song. Don't know what it was called,but remember the one line "we three little lambs who have lost our way", "baa baa baa", cried myself to sleep every night.

That's the one thing my parents never did was sing fine god.

I dodged a bullet there.

Is that really one of the books? "The Berenstain Bears Don't Pollute Anymore"? How wrong is that? Telling kids that bears don't sh*t in the woods.

Don't remember if mum and dad ever read to me or even sang. I know I used to ask to go to bed at 7pm every night including weekends and school holidays. Even when I was allowed to stay up I would nod off about 7pm.

I don't remember having books read to me, although I believe they did. But I remember reading The Famous Five & Biggles. I still have the books now.
