"Where the wild things are" and "cloudy with a chance of meatballs" are both going to be movies now. I liked them both when I was little.

Yep
"The Magic Faraway Tree" by Enid Blyton
Every one of the Beatrix Potter books for their wonderful style, but particularly "The Tale of Tom Kitten" and "The Story of Squirrel Nutkin".
"The Happy Prince" of course, by Oscar Wilde. We had the bakelite record with Bing Crosby reading it.
My kids were pretty sceptical of this kind of stuff.

"Noggin" and the whole Noggin series....
"Noggin and the Sooty Storks"
I loved those books. (as did my kids)
They all begin with "This is the castle of Noggin the Nog. Noggin the Nog lived here a long time ago." and when i'd read them to my son even when he was very little he'd say it along with me. so cute.
Kath
ALSO - "Artie and the Princess" - from my childhood. It was printed 1947 & my ex-husband had gotten rid of all my childhood books!!!
:-(I finally got a copy! Yay

to my granddaughter every time she sleeps over here. Used to read it to my daughter, too, about 23+ years ago. Not sure why I love it, but I do.

I loved Mrs. Piggle Wiggle! I read all of the books so many times that I nearly had them memorized. Except maybe for "Mrs. Piggle Wiggle's Farm".
