[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. Have any classics (besides frog and toad which we already have) withstood the test of time?[/quote] It depends on how you handle the test of time, I think. In our home we read classics that have views we disagree with, while making sure to include books with different viewpoints as well. Basically we follow the approach of "balance out Little House with The Birchbark House" as recommended by the book "The Enchanted Hour." We don't necessarily do that approach at 4, but for elementary kids we do. But for books that don't need any balancing, there's Sydney Taylor's All-of-a-Kind Family series. I think Beverly Cleary's Ramona books generally work, along with The Mouse and the Motorcycle. Charlotte's Web is as good as ever and my kids have enjoyed it at 4&5, along with both the live action and the animated movies. My Father's Dragon is good also.[/quote]
