 Our school partners tell us that parents are often as excited at the availability of eBooks for their children as the kids are. So, we thought it might be nice to make a list of some of the children's books that parents have loved, so that when they search your collection while sitting with their child, they'll be able to share the excitement they felt when they first discovered these books as children. Some of these titles may have first been popular with your students' grandparents, who shared them with their children, who may pass them down to the children in your classes. So here's a list of some of the best loved children's books of the past, now available to schools in the eBook format.
Louisa May Alcott – Little Women series L. Frank Baum – The Wizard of Oz series Judy Blume – Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret and Then Again, Maybe I Won't Frances Hodgson Burnett – The Secret Garden Beverly Cleary – Ramona series Norton Juster – The Phantom Tollbooth Madeline L'Engle – A Wrinkle in Time C. S. Lewis – The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and the rest of the Narnia series Maud Hart Lovelace – Betsy and Tacy series Scott O'Dell – Island of the Blue Dolphins Anna Sewell – Black Beauty J. R. R. Tolkien – The Hobbit Gertrude Chandler Warner – The Boxcar Children series
