One of my new year's resolutions was to read some classics of children's literature that I never got around to reading as a child. So, I asked my Facebook friends for some ideas. (It's a very good idea to include teachers and librarians as your Facebook friends!) I had read some of the suggestions on their list and some of the suggested titles are almost impossible to find. I narrowed down the possible list to twelve– one for each month. I may read more, but this is my commitment.

Here's the final list:

A Secret Garden

A Wrinkle in Time

Where the Wild Things Are

Where the Red Fern Grows

The Little Prince

Tuck Everlasting

Holes

Winnie the Pooh

Anne of Green Gables

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Ages 13 ¾

Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret

The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

I've already read my January book (The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler). It was delightful!
