What books would you read to your children?

Why don't we have a guide for raising literary children?

>My son, who's 32, is often in our New York apartment these days without either my wife or myself. A few nights ago he spoke to me on the phone and he said that he felt very lonesome there. It's one of those old, Edith Wharton kinds of buildings with extremely high ceilings. He said, "I feel like I'm Mr. Toad of Toad Hall," at which I broke into sympathetic laughter.

Clearly Bloom's is the advice to follow if you want your child to grown up to be an effeminate faggot living with his parents at 32.

>Indeed, you see the stuffed animals on the couch facing me? This is a little duck-billed platypus whom I've named Oscar, in honor of my hero, Oscar Wilde. And this baby gorilla, whom my wife gave me for my last birthday, we've named Gorilla Gorilla. And I've named this wonderful donkey Eeyore.

Reminder that this is who /lit/ looks up to.
