Survey Says...
What are some of the books you remember reading as a child?
I'm compiling a list of books to collect for my 3-year old as he starts to get older. I have some of the books I read as a little kid, but a box or two of books has gone missing.
Missing Books Include:
1. Freckle Juice
2. How to Eat Fried Worms
3. Fudge...(really the whole Fudge world)
4. Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing
Books that are on the list that I do still own:
1. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
2. Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
3. Cricket in Times Square
4. Bunnicula/Howliday Inn/The Celery Stalks at Midnight
5. The Box Car Children Series
6. Charlotte's Web
7. The Plant that Ate Dirty Socks
8. Mr. Popper's Penguins
9. Ramona Quimby (et. al.)
I'm really looking for any age range here, so don't hold back any book suggestions for older middle schoolers. Even though he's only three, he enjoys listening to chapter books. We've already made it through the first Box Car book in the series and are working through the second. I'm just trying to keep thinking one step ahead of this kid so that he's always interested and challenged by the stories we read. (And I have a serious book-buying addiction, so I'm more than happy to get books for when he's older.)
Thanks for any suggestions you guys can come up with!
