Great suggestions and I've already bought most of these for my daughter to read (:

I have not read any of these lol

I'd like to add a Dr. Seus fav "One fish Two fish Red fish Blue Fish" and "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak.

I read most of these and LOVED city of ember as a kid. :) I definitely agree with reading The Giver again as an adult...there's a lot I didn't pick up on when I read it as a child.

I would have to add The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold - both my son and my daughter loved this book!

I loved number 5 growing up!

The outsiders!!

How is The Giving Tree not on here? I'm 17 and that book can still make me cry

And Alices Adventures in wonderland !! It's so sweet and so creative ! I will definitely read these

I love the giver
