Kid friendly /lit/?
What books would you read your kid as they go to bed, or to read together to bond over?
Any list? hell, even books that you read as kid that still resonate with you today?

Loved this one as a small child, along many others. My mother still keeps my childhood books in a box somewhere. I can't wait to read to my own future children.

Kids don't want to hear stories. They want to play-wrestle and cuddle.

The moment I saw the title I was expecting this to be a fake book, then the author got a good chuckle out of me, but it's real. Thanks I'll check it out.

My mom used to read me stuff that was a little advanced for a small child, and I sure as hell wouldn't have been able to read them alone, but I still really liked the stories and consider those influential moments in my taste and imagination. This started when I was...three I think.

to name a few: The Hobbit, the Chronicles of Narnia, and (the less adult) parts of Clive Barker novels and Dune.

Winnie-the-Pooh is one of the most amazing children's books in my eyes. It's perfect for children, and really beautiful and funny for adults.

I've been reading my kid various chapters from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. He's really enjoyed hearing about young scholars hooking up with fox maidens, the man with the rat wife, the shady Daoist priest and his magical pear tree, etc.
