What books do / did you love reading to your kids?

[cyberswede]

5. My kids are 12 and 10, so I still read to them.

Some favorites from when they were younger include:

Uncle Wiggily (my mom read these to us, so I bought a bunch on eBay to read to my kiddos):



Andrew Henry's Meadow:



Diary of a Worm series:



Belinda the Ballerina series:



My 12 y.o. is a reading machine (he read all 7 Harry Potter books by himself in about 3 months when he was 8). He reads at a college level, though the subject matter he prefers is more suited to his age group (Rick Riordan's stuff, etc) - he just reads everything really fast. We started the Mysterious Benedict Society series a couple years ago, and he recently asked me if I'd read them all to him now at bedtime - sweet!



My 10 y.o. and I just finished The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate (great book!), and we've started Moon Over Manifest now. She's reading The Boxcar Children series herself.
