There’s no end to the list of older books, beloved by generations of readers. You’ll see them listed – Charlotte’s Web and Anne of Green Gables, Peter Pan and A Wrinkle in Time.
Since there are so many, why don’t I simply recommend my own favorite children’s book of all time, Kenneth Grahame’s “The Wind in the Willows”.
Long-ish at seven hours – that’s a vacation car trip across country – this tale of Ratty and Mole, and the outrageous Mr. Toad will make the time go by quickly.
