Something I was watching a couple weeks ago made reference to Johnny Cash's version of A Boy Named Sue, and it inspired me to order Where the Sidewalk Ends and The Giving Tree.

After raising children I cannot read "The Giving Tree" without openly and literally weeping. For real, true story.

Little Golden Books. Heaven forbid mom or dad missed a word from this one. I couldn't read, but I new it front to back.

Also I'd like to give a holler to Dolly Parton on this thread for her Imagination Library which has gifted over 225 million books to kids. I hope they will one day have similar sentiments as we've expressed here.

My Side of the Mountain. One of the books we read in school was called The Dollhouse Murders. That wouldn't happen nowdays.

Nowdays you couldn't read Roald Dahl in school.
