Today I am focusing on books I would classify as "classics" (roughly early history to 1945). I am going to break it down into some subgenres to keep things from getting too overwhelming. So today it is books that are primarily written for children (roughly 5-15 years old). That being said, they are still excellent books for any age. I have also tried to make this list with lesser known or read children's classics, so if one of your favorites isn't on here, that doesn't mean I don't recommend it.
