Of course, the Narnia books are pretty much obligatory. (My parents spent almost a year reading those to me when I was about seven.) Then there's the Hobbit, some of the George MacDonald books (e.g. The Princess and the Goblin, At the Back of the North Wind), the Wind in the Willows, and so forth. So many excellent works of children's literature, and so little time … I have many fond memories of being read to as a kid. Of course, the Narnia books are pretty much obligatory.
