81. Yes and No Stories
Recommended by @browserdotsys, by the Papashviliys, we got a signed copy somehow (?!)
Exceptional people and my absolute favorite book of fairy tales.
When men speak of heroes, let them sometimes remember Ajam Boglay's name.

82. The Fat Cat Sat on the Mat Quite a stupid book remarkable only for the fact that it was I think the first book I read on my own It was all downhill from there An introduction to the nature of entitled cats which has also been a constant theme in my lifepic.twitter.com/j2fZXW0nV5
83. A Madeline Treasury While I mentioned Madeline above I was compelled to get a complete collection of the originals for recently-uncovered Kabbalistic reasons Classic mischievous stories I expect I will be reading quite a lot This book is a bit cumbersome for small hands :(pic.twitter.com/Psq75Twzg2

86. Our Universe (national geographic) I didn't totally understand this as a kid but I loved looking at it Very pretty, and tons of illustrations and science word's to help a child get used to not knowing what the hell is going on with Realitypic.twitter.com/grkSrwVwoB
87. The Green Pelican and Other Stories Probably hard to find. (My copy is DELICATE.) A charming weird book of short stories written in an energetic and exceptionally wry voice.

88. Ox-Cart Man In the days of old, a Bay Colony family worked hard throughout the year, producing handicrafts and living a humble, loving family life Whither went the Ox-Cart Man of yesteryear? What ill wind, from whence, bore on its hateful wings the accursed Masshole?pic.twitter.com/RfmOdszp4R

90. The Original Mother Goose AWESOME. Reasons to get: 1. Art is gorgeous 2. Memetically RICH. These snippets of words wriggle their way into every bit of English. Like reading Shakespeare 3. Great way to establish the rhythm of English 4. My mom told me to read poetry to kidspic.twitter.com/gYpHenQ8Sm
91. Life Story This one had good reviews but I was a little underwhelmed by the art--and I don't think the play gimmick works so well here. But it is a concise summary of the history of the worldpic.twitter.com/dk3rZxqfsg
