K think back to your favorites, what book should be added to every kid's collection of books they own? If you want tell me why you chose that one (like if it teaches a moral lesson or something).
I choose the poetry collection "A light in the Attic" by Shel Silverstein, and Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister.

Click Clack Moo: Cows That Type, that was always my favorite. I don't remember why, but it's my favorite.
Then A Dog Called Kitty, when I got a little older. It was about courage and over coming fears and it was really good, but sad.
The Secret of the Attic series, because they went on adventures, and it let you know how different people lived. It's the reason I got a boogie board.
There are probably more but I can't think of any of them.

Harry Potter, because they are exciting and full of moral lessons. They should make the reader a more empathetic person because of the amount of heart in them.
Also, the Giver. It's like 1984 for children. I also loved the Madeline L'Engle Time Quartet (Starting with A Wrinkle in Time).
under 7: Dr Seuss, Shel Silverstein (duh)
7: The Boxcar Children series! American Girl books

Oh! The Things you can Think! by Dr. Seuss helps children learn to use their imaginations.
Oh! The Places You'll Go! by Dr Seuss talks about dreaming big and going where ever your heart desires.
I also want to add to my list "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein. That book is absolutely beautiful. Depending on the age and stage the child is in, they can interpret it differently each time they read it. The tree can represent : a friend, a parent, or God. It's completely up to them.

Mr. Seahorse by Eric Carle should be part of any child's library it tells the tale of several male fish who are actually the caretakers of the young before they are born. It's really good.
It's O.k. To Be Different by Todd Parr, a book about diversity, not just race but disabilities too.

Where the Wild Things Are
By Maurice Sendak
won the Caldecott Medal as most distinguished picture book of 1963.
The plot of the book is based on the fantasy (and real) consequences of a little boy's mischief. One night Max dresses up in his wolf suit and does all kinds of things he shouldn't, like chasing the dog with a fork. His mother scolds him and calls him a "WILD THING!" Max is so mad he shouts back, "I'LL EAT YOU UP!" As a result, his mother sends him to his bedroom without any supper.
Max's imagination transforms his bedroom into an extraordinary setting, with a forest and an ocean and a little boat that Max sails in until he comes to a land full of "wild things." Although they look and sound very fierce, Max is able to tame them with a single glance. They all realize Max is "..the most wild thing of all" and make him their king. Max and the wild things have a fine time creating a rumpus until Max begins to want to be "…where someone loved him best of all." Max's fantasy ends when he smells his dinner. Despite the wild things' protests, Max sails back to his own room where he finds his supper waiting for him.
This is a particularly appealing story because Max is in conflict with both his mother and his own anger. Despite the fact that he is still angry when he is sent to his room, Max does not continue his mischief. Instead, he gives free rein to his angry emotions through his fantasy, and then, comes to a decision that he will no longer let his anger separate him from those whom he loves and who love him.
