What was your favorite childhood book? If you have children, have you passed this book down?
I am such a reader and have a LONG list of childhood faves from every stage. And what better way of sharing my love of reading with my children than reading my favorite books with them.
- Charlie and Chocolate Factory - my 7 yr old and I are reading this right now. She has seen both movies and loves to talk about how they missed certain parts.
- Chronicles of Narnia - another love of mine. We have several different copies of the entire series as someone is always in middle of one of these.
- A Wrinkle in Time - Madeline L'Engle is a must for any fantasy lover...Charles Wallace, Sandy & Denys and Meg....my eldest two daughters have read this with me
- Mrs. Frisby and Rats of NIMH - my soon to be fifth grade son, Joshua and I are reading this right now. I read it years ago and still enjoy it.
- Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry this series of books by Mildred Taylor was shared a couple of years ago in my household.
- To Kill A Mockingbird - Who doesn't love the escapades of Scout, Jem and Dill....and Atticus.
- Anything by Else Minarik...Little Bear
- Maurice Sendak...Where the Wild Things Are
- Dr Suess...Hop on Pop and The Foot Book rates highly here!
- Richard Scarry....Gotta Love Goldbug
- There's A Monster at the End of this Book - THIS IS A BIG HIT with all my kids. I do my best Grover imitation while reading it....

I had forgotten about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! I also loved the old movie with Gene Wilder (but not really fond of the new movie).Your son might also enjoy My Teacher is an Alien books. I can't remember the author but my students loved those books.
Great list of books! I had forgotten about Richar Scarry. They were awesome, and always something new and fun to find.
Really great list of books! Some of these I had forgotten about...and I'm embarassed to say that I have never read To Kill a Mockingbird. Maybe it's time!
I *love* There is a Monster at the End of this Book!
