Hey /lit/, I'm going to babysit my cousin's kids in a few days and I've been told they don't go to bed before a proper bedtime story.
What are some nice stories for children to read aloud to them?

I have fond memories of Edwardian England.
The point of reading a long story is they fall asleep in the middle of it.

I enjoyed the Dr Seuss books as a kid.

Although funny, it needs Fox in Socks: "How to Lose Friends Through Incessant Rhyming," or something.

But anyway I suggest (you'd have to judge it depending on their ages):
Fox in Socks (or anything by Dr. Seuss)
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Where the Wild Things Are
