10 Great Books

Here is a list of ten books I highly reccomend reading if you haven't. Picture yourself curled up on the couch during naptime on a crisp autumn afternoon with a cup of hot chocolate or peppermint tea.

End of the Spear, Steve Saint
Sense and Sensibility, JAne Austin
Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte
The Hiding Place, Corrie Ten Boom
Captivating, John and Stasi Eldredge
The Abraham's Daughter's series, Beverly Lewis
Little Men, Louisa May Alcott
Having Our Say, I can't remember but it is two 100 year old black ladies
Cheaper By the Dozen, I also can't remember but FAR funnier than the movie
The Color of Water, Sorry His name is John or something


Kiddo Books-

Stuarts Cape (5-10)
Binky, Leslie Patricelli (0-3)
Quiet Loud, Leslie Patricelli (0-3)
The Kissing Hand, Audrey Penn (2 1/2-7)
All Together Now, I can't remember her name (2 1/2-7)
My Ballet Class, Rachel Isadora (2 1/2-7)
Bedtime for Francis, Russell Hoban (2 1/2-7)
Doggy Dog, and Goosey Goose, Chris Raschka (0-3)
Some Things Go Together, Charlotte Zolotow (0-7)
What Color is Your Underwear, Sam Loyd (2 1/2-7)

Let me know what you think of these if your read them or have read them. Also, I would love some reccomendations in both catagories!

Some of my favorites:

Heirs of Montana series by Tracie Peterson (all of her books are excellent)

Kids books-

Goodnight moon
The Wind in the Willows
Any Golden book

i've read six out of the ten books you recommended and love them all.

i'm with jackie -- don't forget about Pride and Prejudice.

my suggestion: Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster.

I've actually never read any of those books...I guess I have a good reading list now. I'm mostly a non-fiction reader, and 2 of my favorites are Passion and Purity, and Let Me Be A Woman - both by Elisabeth Elliot. For kids, I think Where the Wild Things Are is wonderful (with, I think, a solid moral lesson as well).

Another great missionary bio is "Peace Child," by Don Richardson. Actually, I also really like "God's Smuggler" by Brother Andrew.
