Recommended Reads: Children's Classics 

If you like anne of green gables and the secret garden and Heidi, i strongly recommend Pollyanna. It's such a life changing story. It's so amazing.

A little princess is my favorite book! I’m not even a kid but I love the story.

Honestly disabled is fine. I'm chantel and I'm disabled. Some people are sensitive about it but I think it's fine. It's all about how it's used, like anything. If you're using something to insult someone then obviously it's wrong. But to just describe someone as disabled is absolutely fine :)

Little Women was the first classic I ever read on my own and it is still one of my favorites 😍 I can't wait until you read it!

Omg all of your editions are SO gorgeous

Maybe you should do a sequel when you've finished your list 😄❤️

I love the way you organize your shelves

1. Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery 2. Heidi by Johanna Spyri 3. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll 4. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett 5. The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett 6. Peter Pan by JM Barry 7. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by JK Rowling

Books I recommend: When you reach me The ocean at the end of the lane Tuck everlasting Half brother Code talker The giver Night To kill a mockingbird A series of unfortunate events(the full series) That was then, this is now

Read the outsiders by S.E Hilton! I cried when it was over

I've just come across your channel and this post. What a great thing you are doing and your passion comes across so strong. Anything that builds enthusiasm for reading is wonderful ❤❤

You're choice in books are brilliant! I also love the way you explain the story, in such passion! And Heidi is one of my favourite classics, too! 😁

I read the secret garden a while ago and fall in love with it! my favorite has to be Narnia

Soooo excited this video is up!!!!!!!! You're going to love Black Beauty when you get the chance to read it!

It's ok! Normally when you are taking about someone who has a disability you put the person first and their disability second. Basically saying their disability isn't who they are and what describes them. So the boy who is autistic (etc). Great video!! Can't wait to read all of these!

You have such beautiful editions of all of these books! I should definitely read more children's classics. I just borrowed the omnibus of The Chronicles of Narnia from the library, so I'm excited to get to that. Today I bought the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, I still love that series so much

Alice in Wonderland is my ALL TIME favorite book, EVER. I decided to start a collection of Alice in Wonderland books and have at least 10 different copies with beautiful covers!! If you decide to get a tattoo PLEASE SHARE! Also, to study Alice for a college class is like a dream. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT IN THE U.S! Ugh, moving to Canada.

here are a few more recommendations: (not all are classics) The railway children - E.Nesbit Wonder - R J Palacio All around the world in 80 days - Jules Verne Journey to the centre of the earth - J Verne The Master and Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov Goth Girl series - Chris Riddell (for 8 - 10 year olds, but very good) The wizard of oz (dk why it wasn't mentioned in the video)

I think you might enjoy > by Lemony Snicket

Check out Le Petit Prince! It's a short read and it's really really really good.

I watched so many videos of yours in the last two days, and I have to admit I'm obsessed with your channel :) loving your recommendation Videos A lot and I mean A LOT ❤

Love these. Also: Howl's Moving Castle and Little House on the Prairie.

Ah I love children's classics, I'm so glad you filmed this! You should definitely read the Emily of New Moon series by L.M. Montgomery, it is so fantastic!!

just watching your videos lights up my days! I love your channel so much. and your hair, oh my god it gets better with every video😘

The Secret Garden is my favorite book. And I've read a lot of books in my 30-plus years. 😋 I'm glad you enjoyed it, too. You certainly have a great list so far. We'll require an update when you've read the rest of your list!

I just got so nostalgic because you mentioned Heidi, I read it so many times as a child!! And as for my favourite, it has to be Narnia, I hope you enjoy it when you read it!

OMG!!!! I want all of those versions!!! They are sooooo beautiful 😍😍😍😍

Thanks I got the ideas of my wishlist for the books category

The Barnes and Noble editions are beautiful 😍 I am so mad that they discontinued some, and released some with new covers. Especially since they did it right when I was in the process of collecting the old ones. My OCD (and my wallet) does not appreciate it.

Can't wait to read Heidi !!! 😍😍 I love your 1D calendar by the way 😊😊

My favorite children's story is The Wind in the Willows (which I think you said is already on your list). I read it when I was little with my mom and now I still read it and love it!

Omg i read Heidi like years ago and I didn't know the title even though I know what it was about and I'm been DYING to know what the title was so that I could read it again! Thank you so much for letting me re find a seriously amazing book!

Definitely have to read ALL of these, they seem so good!💜 love this video😍

The Secret Garden is one of my absolute favorite stories because of the growth of the protagonist as she has to adapt and finds something to care about. And disabled isn’t bad (honestly, as someone disabled, alternative terms *are* rude).

You should check out Enid Blyton's books, especially the wishing chair books and the enchanted forest. Also Little Women is totally your thing. I also so so adored the Narnia series

When I read Anne of Green Gables, I fell in love right away 😍 Also Alice's Adventures in Wonderland! ❣

Yay, I'm reading Anne of Green Gables right now. So cool that this is the first book you mention in the video. :D Oh my goodness, I love all of these stories. Children's classics are the best. :D I just found your channel and subscribed. I'm starting to do more children's book reviews on my channel too. I'm excited to watch more of your videos.

A wonderful children’s books author is Astrid Lindgren. She wrote soooo many wonderful classics ❤️

I love that your library is color coordinated. :D

I really loved this video! I have read most of these books and I'm glad that I finally found a youtuber that loves children classics as much as I do. I would recommend The Six Bullerby Children.

Continue with the series, it is a beautiful series.

Loved this video so much! Makes me want to read those books again! Thanks! :)

I am in love that you said literary convention rather than trope; it is the correct/accurate term. A trope traditionally has been a comparative literary device, but has changed meaning in the past 8-10 years.

I've been looking for a video like this, so thank you for posting this. I've been looking for children's classics because for the life of me I don't remember reading them when I was a kid.

You have the cutest editions

Thanks for the recommendations 😆 - I grew up watching A Little Princess and The Secret Garden but I have yet to read those books 😅

Great choices !!! The other day I bought an amazing personalized book for my babies from LionStory! It allows my babies to use their creativeness and build their own story :) books are so important for a child’s development and creativeness only makes it better ❤️

Thanks. I was looking for a book to read and u helped me a lot .

I absolutely love Anne of Green Gables! It's my favourite book of all time! I also love Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass as well as Peter Pan and I remember watching Heidi when I was younger nearly every time I was at my grandparents, such a great story x

I really enjoyed your video because it's about some of the books that I enjoyed reading most. My favourite classics are anne of green gables and the little princess.i am really happy that you also enjoyed reading them.

I haven't read too many if any children classics, but I am an English Literature Major. I love looking at different symbolisms or ideas that play out and I especially love looking at how women are viewed differently than men like how women are seen as either being the angel or the monster, being the madwoman in the attic, or how women's curiosities are seen as transgressions while men's curiosities are seen as them going on the hero's journey. Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland were never my favorites when I was a child, but your theory/argument intrigues me and I might have to read them now! Thanks to your video, I've just now enrolled myself into a children's literature course which I am quite excited about now! I needed a 5th class and now I have it, thanks! Oh! And I do have a recommendation, although it can be read by children it is something that adults will understand more. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It is very powerful and has to do with the child that still lives within all of us and how we need to remember that child and how important it is to remember that each person has a soul.

Definitely update us when you finish your list i would love to hear your review on other classics!!

I love this video! You really inspire me to pick up Alice!! And yeah Harry Potter!!! I really agree with you on this point.

I will recommend to Jacob, he also reviews the book too!😁 he is just starting. He is one of book lover💕

Love this video! And I am so envious of your beautiful editions! I really need to start reading more children's classics. And I definitely consider Harry Potter a classic! ;)

I love the books you have. What a wonderful cover they have

To answer your question about disability language... Different people feel differently. Some insist on "person first" language (so "person with a disability"), some prefer to own it as an identity ("disabled person"), some prefer other things... If you ask me, intent is everything and if you're interaction with someone in particular, just using the language that they feel comfortable with, be open to asking and listening... I think just don't be a douche and you're good. lol But I'm not fussy.

The Secret Garden: Omg I got that book in the 3D grade and I was to small to understand it and I had this really really small copy and I could barely read it because there were so many words on each page and they were like 280-ish pages and there were no pictures and I really didn’t like the book but I recently started reading it and I loved it so thanks for recommending it! 😊 💕 📚 📖

Ohhh Wizard of Oz is soooo amazing, I can't wait for you to read it!!!!

I love to read and I think I will start doing book reviews because I have a huge library. Thanks for this great review of all these amazing books xoxo

Thank you so much it helps a lot!

My kids really like the book called “Tony And His Mythical Friends”. They love the illustrations of the mythical characters. Great story as well. I like it because it opened them up to going outdoors!

This is my first video of you, and I love you already! I haven't started the video yet so.......yeah.

This is the first time I'm watching your channel. You have a great collection of books. I just love your collection of classic editions.

I'll be studying both Alice in Wonderland and Alice Throught the Looking Glass at University this year, and Peter Pan, Matilda, and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone - very excited, as I've only read Harry Potter out of those!

Love this video. There is a publishing trend towards projecting the Anglosphere-Classics through newly crafted presentations. I love those ornate books you had, but there is a secret history of children's classics if we dig deeper than what Penguin and Co present to us time and time again. Books such as Michael Ende's Momo and The Night of Wishes. Two of Philip Pullman's favourites: The Owl Service and The Magic Pudding. Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones is an incredible creation that surpasses some its forbearers such as The Wizard of Oz. Others include: A Wizard of Earthsea, War Horse, The Rescuers by Margery Sharp and anything by Ottofried Pruessler. Then there is Finn Family Moomintroll the classic Finnish series vy Tove Jannsen and Eiko Kadono's classic book Kiki's Delivery Service. To name but a few.

I am sooo excited! So, I was picking one book from one of you're list! I picked Heidi Because it seems intresting. I went to amazon and gonna buy it! Thanks so much for showing the book

congrats on 60k subs!! I love your videos BTW!! 🎀😊

I love your choices! The Secret Garden and Heidi are my favorite children. classics. I want to read Alice and Wonderland and Peter Pan. I dont know if you have read it but The Jungle Book is really good also.

I tried to look through your shelves on goodreads but my phone and the website are not getting along currently so I apologize if my recommendation is already there. You should definitely read The Westing Game of you haven't. Like you, I'm not sure how old a book has to be for it to be considered a classic but to me it is. I read it as an adult but it is older than I am. It is such a wonderful children's mystery/adventure. I always call it clue for children.

Have you read matilda? Its a great book!

i was just waiting for you to say the alice books honestly, i actually own two copies of kinda like two in one books of alice's adventures and through the looking glass, definitely my favourite classic. I just love the way Alice thinks and interacts with nonsensical characters. I also liked how you compared it and peter pan because that's actually my best friends favourite classic. (I've been thinking about getting an alice tattoo as well tbh like maybe like a 10/6 hat or a white rose that's painted red but that's kinda to go with the song painting flowers as well haha)

I have read all of those, absolutely love them. Can I recommend you read Pollyanna? I think you will like it.

F.H.B. is my favorite author of all time. Great picks!

I would recommended the Moomins series by Tove Jansson. It is a very unique story that I wish more people knew about. An even lesser know book would be Marianne Dreams by Catherine Storr , but as it is also hard to find I would just say to keep an eye out for it.

I think what you said about the little boy in The Secret Garden being disabled is correct. I'm disabled and although our disabilities are slightly different I think that saying disabled isn't offensive. It just defines how a person is. It's not a negative connotation :).

I didn't know that the rest of the Anne of Green Gables series wasn't planned, I enjoyed the first one as well but knowing that makes me wary to continue the series...

Hi I would just like to let all Anne of green gables fans know that Budge Wilson now wrote Before green gables. ( I highly recommend this book) it talks about her life with all the foster homes and then the orphanage

I just got into reading! I have no idea why tho...but this channel is great im subbing!

There's a book called 'Daddy long legs' I think you should check it out! P.S- Your channel is awesome!!!

I've never read Anne of Green Gables, but I do remember watching some episodes on T.V.

Hailey you have to read the book WONDER! It’s such a good book!

The secret garden is my favorite. I love the story

I didn't find it on your goodreads so I'm just gonna recommend this to you: Pippi Longstocking. I just recently read this and really loved it! It causes some serious nostalgia of you've watched the movies as a kid and if not it's still a fantastic read :)

I need to buy Black Beauty and Pippi Longstocking to complete my collection of Puffin Chalk Classics. I am going to start picking up the Puffin Children's classics, the one in a bunch of colours and the Puffin In Bloom. Although I am only 15 I still want to have a bunch of beautiful children's classics for my future children and I'll teach them not to destroy books.

Omg you have to read the chronicles of narnia it’s great !!!

The selection series is my all time favorite ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👗👗👗👗

There are books like "Rebel Lines" and "Esperanza Rising" that are great for children

Black Beauty is great! I can really recommend it!!

If you like Anne of green gables, you will like Rebecca of Sunnybrook farm. It is REALLY well written and features a likeable but imperfect protagonist👧.

im glad people actually read books aimed for younger audiences because not everyone who reads books is old enough for ya books. im in the middle right now, some ya's i can read but others are too much for me to be allowed to read so thanks for making this also i know im literally like 6 yrs late lol i just got out of a really miserable and long reading slump

If u want to visit PEI, try later June to Canadian Thanksgiving in Oct. If you want to swim in the ocean, July & Aug. PEI in winter can be challenging. If u end up liking the Anne of GG books u can try the Emily series by the same author. It'll be interesting to see what u think of Narnia when u get to it.

Wtf your bookshelves are amazing

If you love Fantasy I’d Recommend The girl Who drank the Moon

Books mentioned: Anne of green gables Heidi Alice’s adventures in wonderland through the looking glass A little princess

Thank you for your time and recommendations, I’m looking for age appropriate novels or chapter books for clients and I appreciate these suggestions 😊

I love the puffin in bloom editions! I love these classics so much too! I heard of Heidi and watched a film on it and always wanted to get it! Anne of green gables I have an audiobook of and I really want to get the book! I also have the little princess! Both of these I have in Polish too, so I wonder what it would be like in English :D I've read the little princess but it was so long ago, I didn't really understand it, even my dad didn't really understand half of the words 😂 But maybe it just has been translated strangely. I also didn't read it all, only up to page 93, but after the video I think I'll read it! I really want to get the secret garden too

I absolutely love A little princess, Anne of Green Gables and Alice in wonderland, too!

Yes, you can get the one at Barnes & Noble i added it to my birthday wish

Ooh kids books sound appealing suddenly!
