Either a current one or from when you were young, I don't mind! I'm doing a primary teaching degree and would like some recommended reads!

Depends what age - my kids love the Hairy McClary books - by Lynley Dodd, and also Where's Wally - not a read as such more of an activity but very compulsive!! I remember the Enid Blyton books especially - The Folk of the Faraway Tree, The Wishing Chair etc, also Charlotte's Web (E B White), Roald Dahl - Fantastic Mr Fox, ahh I could go on for hours

Primary like grades K-2? Or Primary like Elementary grades K-5?
K-2: Very Hungry Catapillar
Horton Hatches an Egg
Wemberly Worries
Chysthamin (spelling??? It's by Kevin Henks)
3-5: Frindle (excellent!!!!)
Mr. Poppers Penguins
Charlotte's Web
My favorite books from when I was in 3rd grade were Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books! I loved reading those. They are a little old fashioned for today's kids but if you read it to them, they'll get it.

Anything by Roald Dahl, especially The BFG and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Also love the Magic Faraway Tree - good to see it so well remembered.
And traditional fairytales. Always good and useful to have a knowledge of particularly if they are going to read books like that postman book with the letters in it (v good) or something like Prince Cinders.

Stig of the Dump. A little boy goes to stay with his aunt ( I think) and goes out to play at a dump amongst all the rubbish and discovers a neanderthal boy still living there. Sounds awful but my kids love it too. The Narnia books, Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl and The Borrowers

Any of Roald Dahl's - especially The Giraffe & The Pelly & Me, and The Enormous Crocodile. Magic Finger was a bit scary I thought.

I loved any of the Winnie the Pooh books to read to my child. Others would be Runaway Bunny, all the Classic Disney ones too.
