Matilda by Roald Dahl
Recommended for ages 8-12




Dahl makes booklovers out of kids, which is perhaps partly why Matilda, about a girl who adores reading, has become a favourite. Most of the adult characters in this story are despicable - from the terrifying principal, Mrs Trunchbull, to Matilda's arrogant parents - so it's all the more satisfying when the little girl uses her brains and just a little bit of magic to prevail. This is the one that will have you crossing your arms with outrage, yelling with triumph and laughing all the way.

Tashi by Anna and Barbara Fienberg
Recommended for ages 6-8



About a little man with an impressive hairdo and lots of adventures to recount, the Tashi series is a firm favourite with both boys and girls. Engaging storylines with fun formulaic elements (including a hint at the end of each book as to what the next adventure will be) keep kids reading. The series is perfect for kids just starting to read independently and illustrations by Kim Gamble are yet another reason to love these books.

Possum Magic by Mem Fox and Julie Vivas
Recommended for ages 3-6



It's Australia's best-selling picture book for many reasons, one is its Australian setting and lovable native animal characters. To keep the little possum Hush safe, Grandma Poss uses bush magic to make Hush invisible. The quest to reverse the spell takes them all over Australia, dining on an array of classic Oz cuisine. Vivass illustrations are gorgeous and the storyline has just enough conflict to grab the readers attention. A beautifully balanced picture book.

Miraculous Journey Of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo
Recommended for ages 7-9



Perhaps the least known title on this list, this charming tale takes the reader on an epic journey with Edward Tulane, a conceited china rabbit who is loved but (initially) does not feel love for others. In a series of dramatic adventures and mishaps, fate leads Edward from one owner to another, all memorable characters who teach him about love and life. Miraculous Journey has everything, a wonderful book to read aloud with someone.

The Lorax by Dr Seuss

Recommended for ages 2-6




No one can rhyme like Dr Seuss, the undisputed king of phonic wordplay. Seuss's surreal illustrations and silly, simple text combine to make ideal learn-to-read books. There are plenty of favourites in the Seuss oeuvre, The Cat In The Hat and Green Eggs And Ham but The Lorax (1971) scores extra points for its environmental and anti-consumerist message. As with many of Dr Seuss's stories, valuable moral messages are communicated in the form of silly rhyming text and zany illustrations.

The Bugalugs Bum Thief by Tim Winton
Recommended for ages 6-11



Like it or not, kids are somewhat preoccupied with the scatological: nudity, bodily fluids, gases and the rest. Author Andy Griffiths excels in this department but Tim Wintons foray into bum territory, The Bugalugs Bum Thief, is also tremendously fun and silly. The notion of a town whose entire population wakes up to discover their bums missing is hilarious. If there's anything funnier to kids than a bum, its a bum thief, or a bum detective, or this book.

Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

Recommended for ages 3-8



There are few people who aren't familiar with Max, the rowdy little boy who pays a visit to the wild things after hes sent to his room. The appeal of Sendak's much-loved and lauded picture book is it reveals new things on each reading and the text and pictures both play a role in telling the story. A simple yet multi-layered picture book about a little boy's quest for independence, the importance of imagination and the unconditional love of a parent.

Charlotte's Web by E.B. White
Recommended for ages 8-12



Farm life is depicted vividly but what drives this story and has young readers holding their breath while they read is the life or death urgency: will Wilbur the pig be killed? The little girl, Fern, Charlotte the spider and Wilbur are lovable, resourceful characters and their story has been a favourite since it was first released in 1952. A good one for parents to read aloud with their kids. Charming, moving and beautifully written, this story about some of the most unlikely friendships is a bestselling classic.

嗯，差不多。
不过自己的孩子喜欢不喜欢要不要看和书本身当前是否流行畅销无关。

嗯，是的。。。
这个常见，是peer pressure的一种，所以你会见到有人根据一些别人和所谓精英学生们的书单买一堆书放家里，但是因为孩子不喜欢或者没有阅读的兴趣，除了吸引一堆灰之外，留下的只是给大人们“汗牛充栋”的感觉了，呵呵。

因此，道理很简单，家里有书就要从第一页到最后一页读过，否则就没用了。

是不是这些书，老爸老妈要先读一遍？

我想是不需要的。。。父母知道个大概就可以了。。。
我相信能够自如地阅读英文小说（哪怕是儿童文学作品）的华人父母比例很低。

有原著改编的电影的话多看看也是捷径，呵呵。

有孩子追JAMES PATTERSON 的小说吗？不知道算不算经典。我本人没读过，先不发言。但小D 最近狂迷他的系列小说。

也Google了一下，
James B. Patterson (born March 22, 1947) is an American author of thriller novels, largely known for his series about American psychologist 【Alex Cross】. Patterson also wrote the 【Michael Bennett】, 【Women's Murder Club】, 【Maximum Ride】, 【Daniel X】, and 【Witch & Wizard】 series, as well as many stand-alone thrillers, nonfiction and romance novels.

他的小说（不属于儿童读物）就是成人读物了。



过去曾经看过一个电影【Kiss the Girls】，就是James Patterson的【Alex Cross】系列小说的第二部改编的，大明星Morgan Freeman和Ashley Judd主演的。

这些都是我女儿看过觉得好的而我还有印象的， 她是个不折不扣的书虫，今年即将year 6.
1.John Marsden " Tomorrow series"
2. Suzanne Collins "The Hunger Games series "
3. Morris Gleitzman 很多书都适合小学生看，特别推荐他的三本“ ONCE " " THEN " "NOW" 非常感人，关于发生在二战中波兰小孩子的遭遇，让小孩子懂得珍惜现在的生活
4 Cornelia Funke " The thief lord"

严重羡慕书虫， 我们家两个都不是， 但每天都会看一会儿， 绝不是爱不释手的那种。 算了， 不能强求， 有个读书习惯就好了。

女儿目前最喜欢的一套是这套， 看到第七本了， 圣诞老人给的， 我鼓励看完一本买一本， 也是一种动力。 儿子在看“the Diary of a Wimpy Kid”， 现在还多一本电影版的。 有没有小孩象我儿子一样喜欢跳跃着看的， 不是按照顺序看， 乱翻着看的？说了白说， 也不知道该。
