Recently I read "A Wrinkle in Time" and I was surprised to learn that it's a children book. And it got me thinking about all the books I read when I was younger that I either still have or remember fondly and which ones I would introduce to my future kids:

  • A Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
  • Goosebumps
  • Harry Potter and Percy Jackson series
  • The Phantom Tollbooth (I still have mine)
  • The Wind in the Willows

What is one or more books from your childhood that you would introduce to children, either yours or not?

Charlotte's Web is a must. Other than that, My Brother Sam is Dead, Where the Red Fern Grows, Wonder (and the sequel), Hoot, and either Hardy Boys or The Boxcar Children.

@cherie, Charlotte's Web and Little Women were fantastic! And I never knew that Enola Holmes was a book! Is it a series or a standalone?

@Nate, I loved the Hardy Boys and Boxcar Children! And Where the Red Fern Grows film wrecked me (which is why I never read the book lol)

Also still have my Phantom Tollbooth. I hope I can introduce it at the right time so it hits right. That made me feel like I couldn't let it go.
you can message me with anything: questions, review requests, rants
