It starts with The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street. We all enjoyed it! I have a 10-year-old girl, 8-year-old boy, 5-year-old girl, and 2-year-old girl (who "listens" with the others =)). Others they all have loved include Half Magic, The Secret Garden, Narnia books, and Caddie Woodlawn.

We have deeply loved many of the books we found there. I would recommend anything from Years 1-4. One really nice feature is that many are free either as ebooks or audiobooks.<br />Some really great history books are those by H.A. Guerber, (reprints by Christine Miller) also free online.
