  2. I ran over here as fast as my legs could carry me! I almost majored in chidren's lit. I LOVED your list. Some other favorites:

    The Frances Series. Kind of old, but SO worth it. Especially Bedtime for Frances.

    Corduroy series.

    Pinkilicious.

    The Alice in Wonderland Pop-Up book.

    The Easter Day Parade.

    The Miss Nelson Books.

    Madeleine.

    Dr Seuss' Oh The Places You'll Go.

    I loved your list sweetie. Sounds like you'll have some good readers on your hands there.

  3. I concur with Lisa...you have to read pinkalicious if you have not yet. I remember finding it for the first time at Barnes and Nobles and reading it to my girls. The were in as much awe as I was. As for the initial list....Mo Willems is one of my new favorite children writers. That pigeon is just so dang cute! :)

  5. Assalaamu'Alaykum :) That was a great list, even though there were a few there that didn't cross my childhood radar. I was hooked on Laura Ingalls Wilder, Tixie Belden series of mysteries, Bobbsey twins stuff, and stuff I can't even remember anymore! The Dr. Seuss is still pretty awesome, and oh! Charlotte's Web was a fave.

    Oh, those were the days when I could read all day and all night and nothing could stop me. Hope your kids have a ball of a time reading. I remember the libraries having summer reading programs, where we'd get stickers, pencils, and erasers just for keeping track of the books we read; do your children participate in those things?

  7. I was influenced by British literature in my childhood and one of my all-time favourites was Enid Blyton's books: Adventures of the Missing Chair, The Enchanted Wood, Mr. Meddle's Muddles, oh and I loved Mr. Twiddle series!
    You gotta get your hands on them... I think I may want to check to see if they are available in North America.

  8. I like the Rainbow Fish. Not sure of the others. Check out some Robert Munsch books. I sort of grew up with them and bought them here to share with my students. Their favorites are always the Robert Munsch books.
