The Olive Fairy Book
AuthorAndrew Lang
ISBN0486219089
These traditional fairy tale stories are rich in character building qualities. The sun may shine purple and zebras may be blue and green polka dots but however fantastical the imagined world may be the stories retain a faithfulness to the moral order of the actual universe. The characters in the metaphors...
The Magic City
AuthorE. Nesbit
ISBN1587170248
The first real book I ever read on my own; "real" in the sense of having a couple of hundred pages, not very many pictures, a plot, and some character development. I remember being puzzled by the switches between the everyday world and the fantasy world, and not understanding what was going on until about...
The Snow Princess
AuthorRuth Sanderson
ISBN0316779822
I love to read picture books, mainly for their illustrations. Ruth Sanderson's illustrations are always exceptional. Here, she knocks this out of the park because this is full of magic and the most amazing illustrations.

As for the story, this has a happier ending compared to the story I knew...

The Devil's Storybook
AuthorNatalie Babbitt
ISBN0374417083
There are more ways than one to view the Devil and his works. In this collection of ten original stories, Natalie Babbitt offers us a middle-aged Old Scratch with a tender ego, proud of Hell and anxious for his reputation; a plotter at once pompous and naive who has a way of losing as often as he wins. Nothing...
Brendon Chase
AuthorB.B.
ISBN1903252008
Estoy leyendo estas novelas británicas al revés.

Si son seguidores de esta cuenta (o del contenido que genero) probablemente sepan que uno de los libros que más amo en la vida es El Señor de las Moscas. Supongo que es un libro súper "edgy" y de las pocas novelas clásicas (o clásicos contemporáneos,...

Poems and Prayers for the Very Young
AuthorMartha Alexander
ISBN0394827058
I like the arrangement of these prayers and poems. Most of them are very short and rhyme and would be easy for a little kid to memorize. There are prayers for all different situations and times of day, and I think this book would be helpful to introduce children to the habit of praying throughout the day.
