At nine or ten, I did the same thing with Lucy Maud Montgomery after reading Anne of Green Gables. I have to say, the Emily books (Emily of New Moon, Emily Climbs, Emily's Quest) hold up really well on rereading. They're darker than the Anne books, but more sophisticated somehow.
I also adored British author Noel Streatfield's Ballet Shoes when I was seven or eight, and was thrilled when I found other "Shoes" books in the library when I was twelve or so, even though I was a little too old for them then. My copy of Ballet Shoes is one of the few books from childhood that I took with me to college, and it's been with me every since, even though it's been read so many times that the cover is falling off.

I remember as a child, I read a children's book: cinderella, sleeping beauty, as an adult I also love to read detective stories like Sherlock Holmes and Mr. Poirot

Also, I read all of the Hank the Cowdog books in elementary school, but I'm not sure whether they were actually good enough to pass on or if I just had a strange obsession with them.

- Latest Review: "Raw Food Diet For Beginners" by Ross Contreras
This book tapped into my love of the "magic" of Christmas, especially when the boy finds the box under the tree that contains the bell.

I read them all to my children and now enjoy them with my granddaughter.
