My daughter is now 27, but the first two books I remember her reading over and over were Little Bear by Minarik and the Martin Luther King, Jr. children's biography, I think by Rae Bains. She was in the first grade at the time, I think.

My son absolute completely refused to read anything I recommended; but later when his best friend gave him a list which contained many of the titles I had first given him he just devoured them and he's been reading ever since. Unfortunately I can't remember any of the titles, just that when the list came from his friend it was all good.

And I just read The Island of the Aunts for the first time; what a wonderful book!
