While making book gift baskets for some friends' children, Mark and I reminisced about our own reading as children. Our lists were pretty different, since I was a voracious reader of novels and he of baseball cards. But we both started with the same book...The Monster at the End of the Book by Grover
Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans- Who hasn't ever read Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson? My husband.
- Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh
- From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg
- Bridge to Terabitha by Katherine Paterson
- Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
- Book fair gems such as Will I Ever Dance Again? and Six Months to Live by Lurlene McDaniel
- Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe, especially Masque of the Red Death
and Fall of the House of Usher - Chain Letter and Weekend by Christopher Pike
- Misery and The Stand by Stephen King
- A contraband copy of Forever by Judy Blume
- Once in a Lifetime by Danielle Steel
