Over the years, I have read aloud dozens of chapter books to the boys. Our favorite ones sit on a shelf of their own in the schoolroom. They're waiting patiently for the day when I read them again . . . to my grandchildren.
* The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis
* The Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder
* Christian Heroes: Then & Now series of books on missionaries by Janet & Geoff Benge
* Doctor Dolittle's Post Office by Hugh Lofting
* Twenty and Ten by Claire Huchet Bishop
* The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams by Charles E. Sellier Jr.
* Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
* Miss Hickory by Carolyn S. Bailey
* Snow Treasure by Marie McSwigan
* The Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books by Betty MacDonald
* The Wolf Dog by Ken Anderson
* Little Rascal by Sterling North
* Homer Price by Robert McCloskey
* Pippi Longstocking, Pippi Goes on Board, and Pippi in the South Seas by Astrid Lindgren
* Tales of Mr. Pengachoosa by Caroline Rush
* God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew
* The Great Brain and The Great Brain Does It Again by Mercer Mayer
I haven't read these last three to the boys - just to myself. They stay on the shelf with the others in case the Lord sees fit to bless me with granddaughters.
* The Secret Garden and A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett
* Hitty - Her First Hundred Years by Rachel Field
