The Giving Tree is definitely one of my favs too. Shel Silverstein wrote some great stuff. Harry and the Purple Crayon is good too....maybe later

how about start reading WAR & PEACE? Might as well ramp right into it and get it over with. Epic historical novel by Leo Tolstoy, originally published as Voyna i mir in 1865-69. This panoramic study of early 19th-century Russian society, noted for its mastery of realistic detail and variety of psychological analysis, is generally regarded as one of the world's greatest novels. War and Peace is primarily concerned with the histories of five aristocratic families--particularly the Bezukhovs, the Bolkonskys, and the Rostovs--the members of which are portrayed against a vivid background of Russian social life during the war against Napoleon (1805-14). Only 1472 pages. Perfect for the kids!

I hate people that buy that book just to put it on their book shelf so they appear "well-read"

Some people buy faux books panels to help achieve the look of an entire antique library for the same reason...
