My list:
The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings
The Jungle Book, by Kipling
The Ancillary Series, by Ann Leckie
Harry Potter
Peter Pan
Watership Down
The Narnia Series
Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders series
Louisa May Alcott's books
The Wizard of Oz books by L. Frank Baum
All the classic fairy tales (particularly Bros Grimm)
Classic Greek Myths
Your basic Bible stories
My daughter's list (she doesn't have children yet, but this is the plan):
Almost all of my list above (minus the Bible), plus...
Anything by Roald Dahl
Anything by Tamora Pierce
The Uglies series by Scott Westerfield
Redwall series
DiscWorld! Also, Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
She also says she'll make any kid of her's watch Inside Out at a young age, "so we have vocabulary to talk about feelings!"
And selected Anne McCaffrey (though she feels some of what I let her read at a young age might have been inappropriate).
(Adding: She may have a point. She was reading one of the Talent series books at breakfast her grandmother, when she was eight, and suddenly exclaimed, very loudly, "Oh, so THAT's what an orgasm is!" )
What's on your list?
