**Oau, you really turned me back in time!** 🙂 I actually remember two childhood favorites, both full of funny stories: - **Max and Moritz** – there was even a movie about them. I was around 5–6 years old, often staying at my grandparents’ house with my cousin (who was three years older). We decided to _act like Max and Moritz_… Years later, my mom told me that when she saw the movie, she thought: _“Some children will probably try to imitate them — but which parents will be the unlucky ones?”_ Well, the answer turned out to be her and my aunt. 😅 - The second book I can’t recall the title of, only the story. It was about a child who was tired of always having to say polite words like _“Please! Thank you! Sorry!”_ “на всяка крачка” (in Bulgarian this literally means _“on every step”_, but really it means _“all the time, to everyone you meet”_). The child ran away from home, but after some adventures came back and realized that being polite is actually wonderful. As a little kid, I misunderstood it completely — I thought that to be a good girl I had to say all three words — _“Please, Thank you, Sorry”_ — **every single time my foot touched the ground** while walking! I tried it so seriously, but it was exhausting. Later, when I finally understood what the book really meant, it became one of my funniest childhood memories. ---

Two books came my mind. First is a book for kids who start the elementary school. We were very poor this was my only one Christmas gift. I have never forget it. ![Ablak_zsiráf.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/5/5f99b716f5027d18b63ef75bae0473ab746344e8.jpeg) The second book is the one I couldn’t put down until I finished it. It is about the Battle of Midway from the II. World War which was a great victory of U.S. Navy forces. ![Midway.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/3/9/393ff63ae2a4e8237452e0452380d3c9793ce944.jpeg) ---

Ah, those good old times. 👵 I used to read a lot, and I miss it dearly. Books, poems, comics - I devoured them all. I think of Astrid Lindgren and her incredible ability to sweep the reader away into a world of adventure, wild nature, and rebellious children — like _The Six Bullerby Children_, or my beloved _Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter._ ![GosiaMurawska_0-1758695778643.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/4/432d7115f70a79b2b5dde34f1854019d96cc11e5.png) I also used to sneak books from my teenage older sister… and that’s how I discovered the Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher saga and Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. I devoured those too, even if, back then, I couldn’t catch all the jokes and nuances. ![tp.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/f/9/f9aa39958c0b3d3457006cc3ff351f530d84e33f.jpeg) ![sapkowski.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/6/f/6fd645ffb11a6dbb327688ca370c65d6d12ad5d2.jpeg) ---

As a child, I read a lot, especially comic books! The first one I read was Lucky Luke, the lonesome cowboy. ![GerardJ_1-1759216047043.jpeg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/4/4b811e64d7051bd36ff235a62b9616774ab40b6e.jpeg) and my first favourite book was Tom Sawyer, which I won in a chess tournament when I was six. I read that one over and over again. ![GerardJ_0-1759215873866.jpeg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/d/9/d95c9be9ce9010ef9a38dbfe4fef22b16ac4d5f2.jpeg) And like [@Michal\_Gebacki](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/44566) , I was also a fan of the adventures of “Le petit Nicolas”. ---

Great! The books I was used to are:  - _ **Journey to the Center of the Earth** _ (French: _Voyage au centre de la Terre_) by Jules Verne; _-  **The Little Prince**  (French: Le Petit Prince)_ by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry; _-  **Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone** _ by J.K Rowling. ---

Hello everyone. The moments I remember most when I was younger were the Monica’s Gang comics. I don’t have a book I remember the name of, only the children’s Bible. But what I remember most is still Monica’s Gang. :joy:😊 ---

My favorite childhood book is Nobody’s Boy (Sans famille) by Hector Malot. I still remember how immersive the story was. Loved it! [Previous page](https://community.dynatrace.com/t/take-the-childhood-book-challenge/53350.md?page=1)
