Well Dr. Seuss seems popular everywhere and he is here to. Princess really loves the fox in the socks and how the Grinch Stole Christmas. She/we :) also love the Mr Men and Little Miss books. My favorite I'm still working my way through with princess now but keep forgetting whos voice is whos, is The Hobbit. Princess is lapping it up. We have just found the ring. The Narnia ones are next but if there are fairies init princess is happy normally.
My personnal favorites as a kid were The Hobbit, Treasure Island and The Lion the witch and the Wardrobe.
my kids LOVED to be read to----
I have all the Dr Seuss books-
There's a little treasure called "I'll Love You Forever" that is my favorite. I cry every time! Also we had a tradition where my father read Twas The Night Before Christmas and he continued this with my children....
My oldest loved Beauty and the Beast and had the introduction memorized by 3....
They all love the little treehouse series when they were 4/5....
I read them Wrinkle In Time and love L'Engle.
Love Love The Hobbit.......Oh there are so many!
I waited to comment on this because I love so many books I didn't think I could narrow it down to three. Lots of my favorites have already been named but I'll add a couple.
Velveteen Rabbit~It's so beautiful. Secret, it will make you cry too.
James and the Giant Peach~ The book is so much better than the movie.
My Side of the Mountain~It's fabulous adventure book. Great for kids 9-teens.
Bud, Not Buddy~A sliced of history and humanity. My students loved this book.
I grew up on the old classic fables.....
Rapunzel
The Princess and the Pea
Jack and the Beanstalk etc....
I remember Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory from way back before the movie!
And I had one book, now thankfully banned! Can you believe I had "Little Black Sambo?"
