I think all of my kids favorites are on here... Dr. Seuss is always a favorite in our family (though I had a college professor that though Seuss' made up words were horrid- I haven't met many kids that did not enjoy them though).
We also always read Shel Silverstein poems when I was little- and the books the Giving Tree and Runny Babbit.
I can't remember if you had Amelia Bedlia on the list- but that has been a good conversation starter about how sometimes the English language is not as literal as it seems it should be.
Most of my kid favorites are on here as well. We own a majority of them. The only one I don't see that my kids love is "No David, No!" They read that book until it fell apart. I need to buy one. They also like the Richard Scary books.
Go Dog Go!!!!!!!
I've only read about 20, I think. Though I've read Berenstein Bears books, just not the ones you listed. Sometimes I had trouble remembering if I'd actually read the book or just knew it from TV (Amelia Bedelia). : )
Great list, Kathy. Have fun reading to the twins.
