We all love children’s books and here are some of the best lines from some of the classics.
“Frog said, ‘I wrote “Dear Toad, I am glad that you are my best friend. Your best friend, Frog.”’ ‘Oh,’ said Toad, ‘that makes a very good letter.’ Then Frog and Toad went out onto the front porch to wait for the mail. They sat there, feeling happy together.” —Frog and Toad Are Friends by Arnold Lobel
“But the three siblings were not born yesterday. Violet was born more than fifteen years before this particular Wednesday, and Klaus was born approximately two years after that, and even Sunny who had just passed out of babyhood, was not born yesterday. Neither were you, unless of course I am wrong, in which case, welcome to the world, little baby, and congratulations on learning to read so early in life.” —The Penultimate Peril (from the series A Series of Unfortunate Events) by Lemony Snicket
“Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such nonsense.” —Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling
“I like people who make me like them. Saves me so much trouble forcing myself to like them.” —Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery
“My bath was too hot, I got soap in my eyes, my marble went down the drain, and I had to wear my railroad-train pajamas. I hate my railroad-train pajamas.”—Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst
“George and Harold were usually responsible kids. Whenever anything bad happened, George and Harold were usually responsible.” —The Adventures of Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey
