One of the delightful surprises of parenthood is the chance to revisit cherished childhood experiences alongside our children. From classic toys like Rubik’s Cubes and Slinkies to the unforgettable books we grew up with—it’s a joy to share these moments. For me, the Choose Your Own Adventure series stood out among my favorites. The interactive nature of these books, with their multiple endings and the ability to steer the narrative, made reading feel like an immersive experience. I would often lose myself in those pages, exploring various paths and discovering new outcomes.
Introducing Classics to a New Generation
In recent years, my partner and I have attempted to introduce our children to some of our beloved childhood classics, with mixed results. A few years back, I gifted them a Choose Your Own Adventure book and was overjoyed to see them dive into it with the same enthusiasm I had. Since then, we’ve revisited that book countless times, uncovering new storylines with each read.
Exciting Developments in the Series
Recently, I was thrilled to discover that R. A. Montgomery, one of the original authors of the Choose Your Own Adventure series, established a company to reissue some of the most popular titles from the series. Since its inception, the company has brought back 36 classic titles and introduced seven new ones. They’ve even launched a collection specifically for early readers, comprising 19 titles that cater to various reading levels among elementary school students.
A Treasure Trove of Stories
My family was lucky enough to receive Chooseco’s Whole Enchilada package—a stunning assortment of 40 titles! It felt like an early holiday celebration as my kids eagerly rummaged through the box to pick their favorites. Remarkably, my eldest child, who typically shows little interest in reading, expressed genuine excitement about the books, going so far as to label the collection as “totally awesome,” a significant compliment from a usually disinterested tween.
Compact Options for Young Readers
For those seeking a more compact option, the Little Enchilada package features 21 books, including selections tailored for younger audiences. With the holiday season approaching, it’s worth noting that the company is currently hosting a giveaway for both the Whole Enchilada and Little Enchilada packages. This could provide hours of quiet enjoyment for your kids while they immerse themselves in these adventures. The nostalgia of rediscovering these stories is simply the cherry on top.
