My favorite kids book of all time has to be Astrid Lingren's "The Brothers Lionheart". Can appeal to both children and adults. Teaches family values of brotherhood, and trust. Gets a little weird at the end, especially concerning death, but still an awesome read.


It ain't hallelujah, but it might as well have been.

My favorite book as a child was Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped, and my favorite one to read to children is Where the Wild Things Are.

Nice thread though. Cool From yours, I went with the Good Dr. Seuss.


"Naked Woman, Naked Man
Where did you get that nice sun tan?"
