What were some of the books you read as a kid?
I really enjoyed reading (off the top of my head):
Anne of Green Gables
Betsy, Tacy and Tib series
Babysitter's Club Babysitter's Little Sister
Boxcar Children

i was a winnie the pooh kid. the thought of a cute bear sitting in a chair in a quiet home was appealing to me. just seems so peaceful.

Amelia Bedelia
Laura Ingalls
Boxcar Children

My all time favorite was, Tuck Everlasting.
I read it to my daughters last year as their bedtime story and still cried like crazy. My kids just looked at me weird...but my older daughter understood. She cried with me.
Don't watch the movie. Read the book first if you plan to watch the movie. The movie does not show the real meaning of the story...well, it does but not in its purest form.

for me it was:
charlotte's web
love you forever
where the sidewalk ends
a light in the attic
the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe
little house on the prairie series
