I know that this all just plays into my baby fever but man seeing all this books at Barnes and Nobel that I loved as a kid I just cannot wait to read to my future children. I hope they inherit my love for books. I cannot wait to snuggle up and read them all my favorite childhood books and as they get older read Harry Potter, Ramona, Amelia Bedelia, Nancy Drew, Shel Silverstein,Roald Dahl ...gah my list goes on forever!

What were all of your favorite children books that you cannot wait to read to your kids?

    I remember loving the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie books and I adored the Amelia Bedelia books. Along with Madeline, the Ramona books, Super Fudge, pretty much anything by Beverly Clearly or Judy Bloom...I was a big book kid.

    I love children's books, and luckily with my career I get to read them daily (I'm a kindergarten teacher :) )
    My absolute favorite though is The Jolly Postman. Still enjoy it today, and the kids find it so fun and fascinating! Anything by Jan Brett is great too. And believe it or not, Jamie Lee Curtis has written a few children's books and they are fantastic!

    The Narnia series. My dad read it to me at bedtime every night starting about when I was 5 and I just started with DS a few days ago. I don't know if he understands the story yet, but he asks for it every night now, which is a nice change from reading the same Disney books over and over. He reads those to himself, though, so sometimes it's nice to switch off and just listen. :)

    I also loved Ramona, Boxcar Children, and Judy Blume books, and later the Babysitter's Club and R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. So many happy hours!!!

    The Babysitter's Club (I think I made it into the 125s)

    Beezus and Ramona (the rest of the Ramona series, and the Henry books and unrelated Beverly Cleary stuff, was ok, but being the older sister, I loved the first one that really focused on Beezus)

    Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing (again, I like this one that focused on the older sibling better than the more popular Superfudge, and I liked the more mature Judy Blume stuff when I got to that point, too)

    Harry Potter (I read them in/after college and can't wait to see/hear them through a kid's eyes/ears)

    Hardy Boys (My sister was a Nancy Drew fan, but I was always more boy crazy and more tomboy)

    Encyclopedia Brown (I loved trying to figure it out as I read and how they explained it all at the end so I could really understand it.)

    I liked Ronald Dahl too but I had to be much older and also read Goosebumps but wouldn't recommend that, had lots of nightmares.

    Also liked Nancy Drew.

    My favorite book as a child was Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. I also loved all of the little golden books. 

    My favorite chapter book as a child was The Phantom Tollbooth.

    I am a huge huge huge Shel Silverstein fan. In fact we read poems to DD every night before bed. We just finished up "Where the Sidewalk Ends" and started "A Light in the Attic." I liked reading the older American Girl books. I am not a fan of the more modern ones. I also loved Nancy Drew. Some of my DD's favorites are Rainbow Magic, Magic Tree House, and any easy reading chapter books.

    Alice in Wonderland, Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, Calvin and Hobbes, and Judy Blume books. I actually didn't read a lot of children's books per se when I was a kid. I usually read joke books, math books, "how things work" type of books, encyclopedias, and a programming book that my stepdad gave me when I got my first computer. I think LO will just think I read her too much nerdy weirdo stuff...
