So far,I have thought of the 'Winnie-the-Pooh' stories by A.A. Milne & Beatrix Potter's stories.My little brothers and sisters love 'Pooh'.Especially Sarah(who is four),she is definitely a 'Pooh baby'. Another good book for little ones is 'A Child's Garden of Verses' by Robert Louis Stevenson.Although,I have never seen an original copy of this book. Any other suggestions? In Christ Emma

I want those too I would very highly recommend God's Little Wisdom Book For Girls, by Elizabeth George. It goes through and gives practical everyday applications for Proverbs 31. God's Little Wisdom Book For Boys by Jim and Elizabeth George is also very good. It gives practical everyday applications for various verses in Proverbs. The illustrations are gorgeously done, and the lessons are excellent. I'm getting one of each for my kids whenever I get my hope chest Also, at the General Dollar Store you can find beautiful pop-up Bible story books. There are books by Janette Oke, one of them is Maury Had a Little Lamb, I can't remember the others right now, that are for children, and they are very good too Blessings, Deb Edited by: singergirl01 at: 2/1/03 6:52:21 pm

I have a few of my books, that I enjoyed as a little girl in there too. I found, at Wal-Mart, a compilation of the 3 original "Dick & Jane" readers, in a hardcover book. I was so excited. It's such a neat book, and the pictures are adorable! I hope, someday, I'll be able to use it to help my children learn to read. You ladies have some great suggestions here! Thank you for posting them!! Blessings! Emilee Elizabeth For thou art my hope, O LORD GOD: thou art my trust from my youth. Psalm 71:5 Edited by: Emilee Elizabeth at: 2/2/03 7:47:30 pm

If you go to Sonlight's website www.sonlight.com you will find many fantastic books listed in their curriculum catalog. I don't know how familiar you are with it, but it's the curriculum that I used with my children and still supplement with their choice of books, because they are fantastic! It is based on good literature, and I've totally fell in love with their books. Growing up, I had no idea there were so many that I missed out on.

They reprint rare old children's literature ('anything over seventy-five years old').My family has three of them ('Christie's Old Organ','Joel,a Boy of Galilee' and 'Mary Jones & Her Bible').I have read one other ('The Basket of Flowers').These are very godly books.Though these books are intended for younger children I enjoyed them a lot.These would be good books to collect for the hope chest. In Christ, Emma

My friend, Kristin, and I are collecting them. I have 14 now. oh well 13. I gave one to my sis for her b-day. (I already had 'The little Lamb' and got another one.) You won't believe this but I got 10 lamplighter books for my b-day and so did my brother!! The whole family together has almost 30 now!! I have not found one bad lamplighter book. I love how they are bound to look old-fashioned. My friends take them with them to read when they go re-enacting. If you aren't don't know about lamplighter you can go to their website at: www.lamplighterpublishing.com/ Danielle Elizabeth Daughter to John and Jacqueline Big Sister to: Mark(13) Samantha(8 ) Lisa(6) Ruth(4) & Jack (2) Website

Well, I don't think we are trying to, but we are! lol They are just sooo good! They really are good for all ages. They are actually making some of them into picture books for children. They did that with "The Hedge of Thorns". It is very good! ~~Shannon~~

I love the "Lamplighter" books, but unfourtunatly here in Canada, they're quite expensive $:\$ But I have seen them, mostly at homeschooling conventions. I love how they're bound! Beautiful! Has anyone ever heard of the "Miller Series" they have several Miller books out, and they are really good! They are written by Mennonites and are very wholesome well-written books. We own the entire series, we bought the last one last year. We all love them, even though my youngest sibling is 13! They are a great book! ~Jenny
