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 have not read any of these lol

I love the giver

Most of these books I have read and seen the movie adaptation too. Kendra, you may also like,"Rumble Fish," it's by the same author of,"the Outsiders."

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

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

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