Most parents read to their kids for years.  Faced with the prospect of reading the same book over and over, they will naturally chose something that appeals to them and not something they find boring or even irritating. The best kid’s books are books that adults love as well.  In fact classic kid’s books are ones which convey universal truth in a charming but profound voice, a voice which pierces the heart, mind and soul of parents as well as their offspring. These are the books which are read again and again, treasured from generation to generation.

Antoine de Saint Exupéry, The Little Prince

J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it Peter Pan

Madeleine L’Engle, A Wrinkle in Time
