We all need it right now, I think.

Here are some of my suggestions.

I can't wait to hear your ideas.

Favorite Folktales from Around the World collected by Jane Yolen (Folktales)

The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett (Mystery)

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum (Fantasy)

Blue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before by Tony Horwitz (Nonfiction)

Ben and Me: In Search of a Founder's Formula by Eric Weiner (Nonfiction)

The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett (Fantasy)

...and about a million kids' books like Potato Pants and the Hank the Cowdog series and Winnie-the-Pooh and Little Pea and Diary of a Worm and Chancy and the Grand Rascal and Counting to Bananas...



Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
