What do you think are the best books for babies?
I don't know. Maybe The Very Hungry Caterpillar? Paddington? Winnie the Pooh?
The best books for children learning to read?
Paddington, Winnie the Pooh, Narnia...
The best books for older children?
Three Musketeers, Sherlock Holmes, Lord of the Rings, Pratchett, Adams, Graveyard Book, Harry Potter...
Books that you read over and over and never seemed to tire of?
Basically, all of the above with the exception of Narnia after a while.
Books that actually taught something?
All books do that.
Most importantly, what books instilled a love for reading in you?
That was my basis for selection.
