The Little House Collection
| Author | Laura Ingalls Wilder |
| ISBN | 0060529962 |
Like so many people, I read and loved these books as a girl. When my son was an infant and I was looking for something to entertain me during his marathon bouts of nursing, I decided to read the series again. I still found it immensely enjoyable, but with one striking difference: When I was a child, Pa Ingalls...

| Author | Madeleine L'Engle |
| ISBN | 0440360374 |
These books make me sad to know what kids are reading today. Very few "children's books" quote Euripides, Goethe, and include sayings in Portuguese or Welsh. These stories (A Swiftly Tilting Planet, which is my favorite, in particular) are largely responsible for the shaping of my imagination as far...

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm
| Author | Kate Douglas Wiggin |
| ISBN | 1598183605 |
Shirley Temple did a lot to make Rebecca famous when she won the world's heart in the movie we all remember.

Curious George Goes to the Aquarium

| ISBN | 0395366283 |
Spoliers ahead:
In past books, Curious George lived in the zoo, and wanted to escape his prison place pretty fast. But here George is pretty cool with animals, even intelligent whales, being incarcerated. That's a good lesson: it is really hard to empathize with others. Once you've overcome...

| Author | Louis Sachar |
| ISBN | 0380791714 |
Louis Sachar doesn't do voices. He doesn't sing, either – not unless you count the “dramatic reading” stylings of William Shatner as singing (when incanting “Wayside School is Falling Down,” for instance, or performing one character's “Missing Sock” song).
This makes the...

I loved the American Girls series so much when I was a little girl. These books helped me experience life in America through a little girl’s eyes through multiple decades. These books have been reprinted and renamed the BeForever series, but I was fortunate...

Bonjour, Babar!: The Six Unabridged Classics by the Creator of Babar
| Author | Jean de Brunhoff |
| ISBN | 0375810609 |
I had only watched the TV cartoon show before, but never read the books, so I decided it was about time for me to do so. Considering Jean de Brunhoff was writing these in the 1930s, the stuff in here is very imaginative. These 6 original stories are considered the first modern picture books and are so fun to...
