Crunchy questions

Are there any children's literary classics you never read, but wish you had? Have you considered reading them as an adult, or have you already done so?

You mean like Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys? Or even little women? I love classics. So I not only read them but made sure my children read them too. Or do they mean Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, or Beauty and the Beast? Because I love them too.

My favourite children's classic is Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster, although I like Anne of Green Gables too.

I can't remember if I asked the question or someone else, but I was thinking more along the lines of award-winning books, books that tend to be discussed a lot. I don't think Nancy Drew qualifies,* but Little Women does.

*That doesn't make them bad books. They're just not considered classics, I don't think. I could be wrong, actually.
