I was a big Lloyd Alexander fan as a kid. The Prydain Cycle being the big one that I still have the compilation of (The Book Of Three, The Black Cauldron, The Castle Of Llyr, Taran Wanderer, and The High King). I love the Westmark Trilogy, too, and all the standalones of his I read (mostly dealing with cats) were good.

Children's Story by Slick Rick.

Where's Waldo owns everything. Then I was always a big fan of the Goosebumps books. The problem then is I had stopped reading them and now they no longer number them at all. So the printing for the ones I do have is different, the cover art is changed a little bit at least, so its very inconvienant to try and see how many there are out.

The Monster at the End of this Book.

ANYTHING by Rahl Dahl just owns: The Witches, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Twits, and James and the Giant Peach all rock.

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH was pretty cool as was Abel's Island.

I also was a fan of the Goosebumps. One Day at Horrorland was pretty awesome.

Topsy Turvy
The Moodys
Burnsteen Bears
A is for Apple

I should mention that One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish totally rocks every other nonsensical Dr. Seuss book. With Hop On Pop in a close second. Fox In Socks can suck a fat one.

I loved those books, I never read the first one though. The Book of Three. I should try to pick that one up sometime.

It's all right, definitely exposition for the most part, but it's good to have under your belt as it'll give you a much better grounding in relation to the characters' interrelationships and some of the world's layout and situation. You can read pretty much any of the books and leave one or two out, but having all of them gives you the best experience, whether it's in order or not.

Personally, Castle Of Llyr is my favorite. But I'm a sucker for boy seeks girl stories and bizarre love triangles.
