[stylist] Looking for ideas on good children's books

[Barbara HAMMEL]

Louis Sachar — don't know how to spell it — Wayside School stories are cute. Benjamin Pratt and the Keepers of the School is a great series. I can't remember off the top of my head who wrote it. Astrid Lingren's Pippi Longstocking stories. All L. Frank Baum's Oz books are grand. Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events. Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne series beginning with Anne of Green Gables. Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye's Left Behind kids is a great series. If you've read the adult version of Left Behind, they are not as intense. Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels. Is it Jules Verne who wrote 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? All the Little House books. Magic Tree House. And Morton Juster's Phantom Tollbooth is AWESOME!

Not sure why maybe just because it's something different and I've always been drawn to children's stories. Maybe it was because I like to read is that you and I want to be reminded of when I read though I'm sure I don't remember most of it. Just wondering if you've read any good children books and if you might recommend one or two. Maybe,  I will write one some day.
