Well my class in children’s literature/ Writing for Children is almost over ( two more lessons +  final exam) and I’m getting tons and tons of big ideas ( thanks so much shivver  for advice / encouragement!) . Also, I’m discovering how fascinating this kind of literature can be.  Since it’s still not easy to go to a library or bookstore right now, I got plugged into my county’s digital book library. And definitely finding some fun and interesting reads ( while rediscoverOmg a lot of series I read as a kid) . Some examples: 

Whatever After series by Sarah Mylnowski ( fun series with unique takes on fairy tales) 
Animorphs by K.A. Applegate ( these were big when I was growing up but I never read them. Definitely reading next!) 
Magic Tree House by Mary Pope Osborne
Goosebumps by R. L. Stein ( spooky ) 
Dear America / My Story & American Girl books , various authors ( wonderful historical fiction) 

So now I wanna know, what we’re some of your favorite books / authors growing up? Got any recommendations?
