1. Anything by the D'Aulaires Beautiful illustrations, wonderful stories. Their _Greek Myths_ are absolutely required--I loved that book more than anything as a six year old. Somewhat bowdlerized--Zeus "took wives", and the last photo is the ending to Abraham Lincoln

2. Madeline, of course! The story of a cheeky girl who lives in an orphanage (??) and gets appendicitis. My copy comes with a helpful list of the Parisian landmarks depicted in the illustrations.pic.twitter.com/SECCa8llTK

4. Winnie-the-Pooh Sadly I somehow did NOT have this as a child but I will rectify this for the next generation An excellent introduction to Books with Maps which I understand to be a distinct genre of books, you know exactly what I am talking aboutpic.twitter.com/qHJKxT243m
