[quote=Anonymous]Not a childhood favorite but I recently read Swiss Family Robinson to my kid and it was extremely dull. But mostly we've really enjoyed reading our childhood favorites. Little Women, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, all the Ramona books, Charlotte's Web, The Little Princess, Secret Garden, Pippi Longstocking. Also it didn't come out when I was a kid but we really enjoyed reading the Harry Potter books even though we'd read them before. Getting to reread children's books to my kid is one of my favorite things about being a parent. I do think with some of these older books, you have to read for a while to get into it. They are paced slower with more exposition which is not how books today are written. Like Little Women has a slow burn for a modern reader. But once you are into it and get used the the rhythm, it's a page turner![/quote]
