These books are from 1985-1992. I remember very few of the names. I'm trying to find some type of listing because I would enjoy reading them to my daughters, Most of these books were read during elementary school. Are there any lists that they would be on? I found one of the books but I can't even remember the others. I don't know where to begin to search.

I'd look on amazon or ebay and go to the children's book section and type in 1980's or an exact year of publication.
Also ask your local librarians. I am sure they would be happy to help.
Here are some books that were popular in that era:
The Boxcar Children Series
anything by Beverly Cleary
Otherwise known as Sheila the Great
The Magic Locket
Encyclopedia Brown series
Cam Jansen series
Amelia Bedelia series
Berenstein Bears series by Stan and Jan Berenstein
Mrs. Pigglewiggle series
Charlie and the Choclate Factory
Bruno and Boots series by Gordon Korman
Ellen Tebbits
Rotten Ralph series
Frog and Toad series
Harriet the Spy series
Harry the Dirty Dog series by Gene Zion
Frances series
The Five Chinese Brothers
The Elizabeth Gail series by Stahl
The Shoe books by NOel Streatfield
Garfield books
Charlie Brown books
Clifford the Big Red Dog books
Me and the Terrible Two by Conford

Your best bet is to contact the elementary school. They may have records--or a teacher who was there at the time. Or they may be able to put you in touch with a former teacher.
Failing that, try the school board--sometimes they provide lists of books for teachers to use--and are likely to have kept those records.

Great question. As a child, I read and read and read. I read so much that I did little else outside school. But, I too don't recall many of the books or authors. I am guessing but I suggest contacting the National Archives. They may be able to help you, and come to think of it me!

Why not ask us? Give as much info on each book as you can remember and then we might be able to track them down. I specialise in these questions being a children's librarian who loves to surf the Net in search of obscure children's book information. I am not the only one.

You can look on e-bay under childrens books and scroll through to see if you recognize any of the names, and you can try the same thing at amazon.com or barns and noble.

Go to the children's section of the library. We still have those, you know.
Your tax dollars pay for librarians to help you, too.
