Piden queso, les dan un hueso y les cortan el pescuezo. But apart from this recollection and some others from my maternal grandfather, I was not influenced very much by them.

hormiguita is that an animal/insect of some sorts?
Platero is that a long version of Plato in Spanish?

It's Roto Rooter in the fungus. LOL
Don't you dare commit suicide on LitNet.

Mine has always been The Wind in the Willows. I starting sharing this story with my children when they were quite young because it was a personal favorite.

I love The Wind in the Willows, but I didn't read it until I was an adult. Same with the Narnia books. I found The Silver Chair at my library and loved it, but had no idea there were others until I got to college. I felt rather cheated, I must say, but I quickly rectified the error.

I loved The Last Battle, The Magician's Nephew, and The Horse and his Boy.

I have no clue as to why The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe was so popular. I read them years ago, but from what I recall I enjoyed the above three works much more than The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. The only book in the series I either didn't read or completely forgot that I read was Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia.
