Even as an adult, I still have a soft spot for some of the books I read as a kid, like Horton Hears a Who, Alice in Wonderland, What Katy Did, Anne of Green Gables, and I loved the Nancy Drew series.
Thank you @floriferous. I completely agree and I am hoping that the answers will enable me to create a list for my own children. Seems like a good exercise for summer vacation!!!
The Wizard of Oz will always be my favorite and I read most of the series with my daughter ( some of the Oz books were pretty scary and I had to skip a few parts) My kids all loved the Robert Munsch books. I still can't get through " love you forever" without bawling my eyes out.
Yes the books can be a bit scary but I may need to revisit them again - thanks! My daughter loves Robert Munsch.
Oh there are so many but the ones that come top of mind today include "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett (about ages 9 to 12) and the "Superfudge" series from Judy Bloome (about grade level 2).
Wow. Okay so some of my favs were There's a Wocket in my Pocket, The Ralph S Mouse Series, the Bernstein Bears & Amelia Badelia.
Thank you for the suggestions - We love Amelia Bedilia books, but I have not read The Wocket Pocket book yet!
My favorite book as a child was Maurice Sendak's "Where The Wild Things Are?" I also read most of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia" series. "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" is my favorite of the series.
I have never read the Chronicles of Narnia series - I will have to check them out....thanks
Ooh, yes the Chronicles of Narnia were great too and then you can follow them up with movie night
I loved to read when I was a kid. Wizard of Oz was the first longer book I ever read, Black Beauty, Wrinkle in Time. I also loved the Nancy Drew series. As a young person, I thought she was so "cool."
I am really going to have to check ou the Wizard of Oz books with my kids. You are the second to say them. I have to say though, A Wrinkle in Time, was probably one of my most favorite as a young adult! I loved it and still do
When I was eight to ten, (heck, even now still!) my favourite book of all time was 'Goodnight Mr. Tom' by Michelle Magorian. I read it over and over, to the point where the pages got worn, and I was devastated when bugs began to eat it, so I had it bound and restored.
I think that book is what got me really interested in studying and learning more about history, particularly during the nineteen forties and fifties.
I also really enjoyed 'The Prince and the Pauper', and the 'One Hundred and One Dalmatians' by Dodie Smith.
My favorite children's book was "Cindrella". I was in love with the fairy and kept waiting for a fairy in my life. The turning of pumpkin into a chariot was most memorable part of the story. Cindrella was my dream of childhood. And I used to hate her step sisters and father by heart.
I loved the Magic School Bus series, but my favorite book was The Very Hungry Caterpillar, because I loved bugs (unlike now…). I'm keeping those to let my children read in the future!
I love the Magic School Bus series as well! The Magic Tree House series is also another favorite in my house.

I'm a YA author, so my list gets pretty exhaustive of "favorite books" in the children's world. Among them? ALL of Tamora Pierce's work and Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. Give me a good girl adventure and I'm happy as a clam--and it's work that I'm still pretty...
