One of my favorite books was called The Little House by Virginia Burton. Captain Kangaroo used to read it from time to time - I'm showing my age! Its about a little house that was being squeezed out of its little place in the country by the city growing up around it with all its roads and freeways. That is, until someone moves the little house back to the country where it belongs. It also won a Caldecott Award for the pictures that go with the story.

I cannot say I had a favorite book from childhood. But I can tell you our 6 year old over 2 years ago had the book "CORDURY" read to him at Santa Claus,IN by Santa and he has loved this book since. We still have that book and he is learning to read so we are incorporating this to be one of the books he will be reading.

The best book to get your children to read is "Old Hat, New Hat". However my children learned to read using comics and catalogs. They had plenty of books but they saw them more as work rather than fun. It worked though. All of my kids are great readers and excellent writers.

My favorites to get them started reading were the "Bob" books. They worked like a charm and the simple line illustrations were funny and made the kids laugh and have a good time while reading. I can't recommend the Bob books highly enough.

The most important thing is reading LOTS of books to kids, but we found the Rosemary Wells illustrated Mother Goose poems to be great. They poems are easily memorized and the font is very large, which helps kids learn to recognize sight words even when their vision doesn't allow for them to read smaller letters yet.

Any book with colorful pictures that capture the child's attention and help them "read" the story and short text so they can remember the story line. My grandson's favorite right now is "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?"
By Clifton,

Dr Suess - Green Eggs and Ham - it's funny and it catches the childs imagination - you have fun and learn at the same time.

The best book is Cinderella. I think it shows children the bond of love and that love is everlasting. I know it impacted me when my mother read it to me when I was a young boy.

By Paula,

The Dr Suess books, Hop on Pop and Hand, Hand, Fingers, Toes are good. They are fun to read and to listen to. They are short enough that most toddlers will sit still and listen to them.
By Angel,

I think that all those fairytales, the brothers Grimm or Anderson ones are the best. My wife grew up reading them so she wants, and I agree, that they are fun to read and keep kids interested.

My children adored The Snowy Day, and I think to this day they LOVE when school is cancelled due to snow. I always bring them to the library, instilling a lifelong love of reading.
