I think everyone has covered my fav kids' books. Great nostalgia!
Lori's comment below reminds me of the time the one city teacher in the Denman

Hi Gail!
When I was a kid, The Black Stallion (and that whole series) topped my
favorite story list! Those should be a hit with your granddaughter as well and

Gail, another series that is great for any age young kids are the Beatrice
