When/if you have children, what would you encourage them to read?
(There's one below for SF-F books.)
(There's one below for SF-F books.)
How could any toddler make it through to childhood without going through each page and finding the mouse?
Similarly:
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Madeline
Where the Wild Things Are
Later:
Little House on the Prairie
The Secret Garden
Where the Sidewalk Ends
(there's plenty in the SF/F category, but I'm respectfully excluding those)
Oh my, the list goes on and on.
The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo.
What books (other than SF-F) do you consider "vital" reading?

Re: I read under the covers, by torchlight, with a decoy book so they'd not know what I was reading.

I could not work out why it would be a bizarre image.

I realise I forgot to include Beatrix Potter in my list. The shame.
