10 Classic Books to Inspire Imagination in Your Child

From the time my kids were old enough to sit for just a minute on my lap, we have been reading books as a family. We started with board books when they were really little and then moved on to longer more diverse literature as they have grown. But there are some books that we read no matter what the age because they are just that good. Here is a list of some of my very favorite classic books to inspire imagination in your child!
