The Phantom Tollbooth springs to mind. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 30/10/2009 12:34:14 AM
I don't really know as I would "encourage" them to read certain books, unless they actually asked me for recommendations. I'd much rather them develop their own tastes.

The Illustrated Book of Myths is another fantastic book that continues to help me to this day. I'll give them my copy. :D
