What was your favorite toy as a child?

It was actually not a toy. It was a book. Any book.
I was a very shy kid and I would be very happy just sitting by myself reading
instead of trying to make friends. Fortunately my daughters seem to have inherited
that love of reading—not the shyness, thankfully—and I think that if asked about
their favorite toy, they’d give the same answer.
