Children's Chapter Books

Okay, so to continue my last thought from my previous post, I'm really looking forward to Wylie being able to enjoy being read a chapter from a book at night before going to bed.  That said, I don't want him to grow up.  LOL  I love him being a little guy and wanting to cuddle when he gets tired.  I hope that he doesn't outgrow that.

Meanwhile, back to the books.  There are several chapter books that I enjoyed when I was younger.  I know it'll be a while before I can enjoy these again with Wylie, but I got to thinking about them nonetheless.  I just thought that I would share some of these with you because I always liked them.

• The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster (which was also made into a live action/animated film by Chuck Jones)
• The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner
• The Cricket in Times Square by George Seldon
• The Farthest-Away Mountain by Lynne Reid Banks
• I, Houdini: The Autobiography of a Self-Educated Hamster by Lynne Reid Banks
• The Indian in the Cupboard series by Lynne Reid Banks
• The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
• The Fudge Series by Judy Blume
• Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
• The Sideways Stories from Wayside School series by Louis Sachar

There are more, I'm sure, but I just don't remember them right now.  What chapter books did you enjoy when you were younger?  Or which authors were your favorites?
