books i'd add to this list as recommended for children:
the happy prince and other stories by oscar wilde
harry potter series by j.k. rowling
series of unfortunate events series by lemony snicket
weetzie bat series by francesca lia block
georgia nicolson series by louise rennison
Taryn, it's Elliotte. And just a few books I love!
"The 12 Gifts of Birth" - it has the most beautiful message and is really gorgeous.
"The Giant Jam Sandwich" - just because it's fun
and
"Love You Forever" cuz my mom used to cry when I read it to her
yay!--good to see you on listology... what? no lists yet?! :)
thanks for the additions--i haven't heard of the first two, but "love you forever" is pretty amazing. but then, it's one of those children's books you want to buy for adults... (hey, that would actually make an interesting list idea!)
