Winnie, the Pooh.

I'd imagine The Twits. I read it a lot as a child and loved it. Haven't read it in a long time.

The first book I ever ordered from Scholastic:

“Happiness Is A Warm Puppy”

Charles Schulz

I love The Hobbit.
It's not quite as serious as the LOTR trilogy. Yes, there is danger! And bad guys! (and a dragon!)
But, it is There and Back Again, after all.

It really Is such a classic but really lacking in some female energy hahaha.

I agree. That book had gotten me through a few hard times as a child and even now. It felt very reassuring that, through all the risks and dangers, all would be alright in the end.

A couple. The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton (Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel and Katy and the Big Snow come in a very close second)
And, The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats ( the toddler grandchild just received this one from me for Christmas)

Abel’s island, on the banks of plum creek, and a bunch already mentioned!

I was one of the experiment in the ita reading system so I'd love a book of that, especially including the word icecream which is all I really remember. They were 2 very happy years of infant school and I'd love to read those books again.
