Sep. 14, 2009 - Classic Kids Book List That EVERY Child Needs: Three

This is part three in the series as the book lists I have to share are VERY long.  Keep checking in for new lists. Some of these books you may or may not recognize from your own childhood.  One thing I love about book lists is being reminded of good books I may have forgotten about.  Time to rekindle some pleasant memories and make new ones with our children today.

Here is the next book list:

Series Books:

Mist of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry (and other sequels)
Betsy Tacy by Maud Halt (10 in series)

The Borrowers Series by Mary Norton

The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall

Uncle Wiggily by Howard Roger Garis

Flower Fairy book series by Federick Warne

Time Warp Trio by Jon Scieska (13 in the series)

A Child's Story of the Book of Mormon (series for those who are LDS)

Read Aloud Suggestions:

Phantom Tollbooth- Norton Juster (Just in time for Halloween)

Good Reading:

Dragon of the Lonely Island by Rebecca Rupp

The Story of Holly and Ivy by Rumor Godden (Good for Christmas)

Moffats by Eleanor Estes

The Middle Moffat by Eleanor Estes

Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George

Flat Stanley by Tomi Ungerer

TJED is based on Classically based books and mentoring. Start buying and reading the suggested books and see which ones will work for you and your family library. For those who missed where I got these book lists, I received from a good friend who is well versed in classic books for kids and has a house filled with bookshelves full of classic books for children.  Several afternoons she had me come and copy down the titles so I could start my collection.  Thank you, Linda!  Happy reading, everyone!
