Two great favorites as to series that I read to kids and they LOVE --
the Warton and Morton books by Russell Erickson
* more detail here -- http://incredibooks.com/tag/russell-e-erickson/
and the Moominland series by Tove Jannson.
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moomintroll -- this series (very old)
has a huge, devoted following -- but the two that are best to read to
younger kids are Comet in Moominland and Finn Family Moomintroll. Trust me,
you and your kids will love these. ;-) When I had Resource Room, and a
massive gang of partner readers, grades 2 to 6 -- even the big kids would
hang out longer if they could to listen to these goofy tales. Jannson's
writing has been compared with 'the classics' like Carroll, etc.
