Summer is a great time to relax and read your favorite book.  What are some books you would recommend and why? What are your favorite books to read to your children?

Please post.  We would love to hear from you!   Maybe someone will find a book to read that is not on their list.
 

I am a bookworm and I live with a family of bookworms.  I purposely encouraged them to be bookworms because reading is not only enjoyable but also educational.  Reading takes us to many places right from the comfort of our favorite chair.  Some of our books have traveled with us, adding yet another layer of memories to the story.  For those of us who homeschool, having books within reach is often necessary for our school days, rainy days and lying around in the sun days.
