The Eleventh Hour by Graeme Base was always one of my faves to read to my kids when they were small. Entertaining enough for adult and child! Great art work too!

The fiction discussion forum has a thread going I think you will benefit from. I did my own post in there about my childhood favorites. I was a typical boy who loved mystery and creepy fun.

To name a few, I used to love curious george, madeline, a pocket for corduroy, etc! That reminds me, I have to introduce some of my childhood favorite to my nieces. I'm always searching long and hard for good educational books for them. Always trying to get them a wide range of books to read.

Do The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy qualify as children's books? If so, they're my favorites by far.

Post Re: your favorite children's books...
Hmm, I have always loved to read, ever since my mother started reading to me. She read me so many and I loved them all. We used to read Stinky Feet everynight before bed. So I guess that one was my favorite. Also, The Little Engine That Could. I loved that one.

Post Re: your favorite children's books...
My childhood book was a collection of ancient Greek myths. I knew it by heart at the age of 8 and it was the first book I've ever fallen asleep reading :)
I also had another anthology of legends from around the world I simply loved.

Recently I've rediscovered all the books that have something to do with rabbits ;)
And so we have: "The Velveteen Rabbit", "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" and naturally "The Tale of Peter Rabbit". How cute are these books?
