“A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.” This C.S. Lewis quote comes to mind whenever I reread a children's classic - they truly are able to be treasured and enjoyed for life!
"Algún día llegarás a la edad en que nuevamente gozarás de los cuentos de hadas." = "Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again." CS Lewis
I'm reading the Narnia books in Spanish and listening to them again in English.
Anne of Green Gables was the book that really made me into a reader as a child, I love it so much, as well as the 80's mini series adaptation
As a teacher of early childhood, a book lover, and lover of children's classics, this is a beautiful overview of beautiful books!!
I love Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Little Prince myself!! I also like Mary Poppins and Roald Dahl's books a lot! If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, it's one of my absolute favourite books!!!
Echoing many others, but my favorite growing up was A Little Princess. I first watched the Shirley Temple version on VHS and then got the book finally. This edition was illustrated by Tasha Tudor. I just remember reading and rereading the book and it inspiring all of the stories I would write.
I loved that book too as a child!
My favorites are: The Wind in the Willows, James and the Giant Peach, The Little Princess, The Giving Tree, Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, Make Way For Ducklings,The Borrowers, Caps For Sale and all of Eric Carle's picture books. Retired elementary teacher here. I've read hundreds. 😂📚
Carolyn, I'm so thrilled that the Ladybird books I sent you are on your beautiful bookshelves. I'm so glad you like them.
I am in my late seventies, and still love Children’s classics! I don’t think we ever out grow our love of classics!
I absolutely loved this vídeo! I'm so happy we share the love for the same children's classics. Love your beautiful editions. 💖💖✨
girl I live for these, thank you !! I always longed for bookshelf tours that were more than just the titles of each book and included the memories and details associated with each book for that particular person. this series fits that wish exactly and it's just the epitome of calming and charming. 😊❤
The velveteen rabbit, Alice in wonderland, Paddington Bear, and Freddy the pig!
Anne of Windy Poplars was my favorite! 😍 I’m currently slowly rereading them for the first time in 14 years, and I’m surprised by how much I remember! I never finished the last book in the series. I was 10 when I first read them, so I remember not really understanding the last book and planning on returning to it later!
As soon as you said your favorite movie was You've got mail, I hit the subscribe button so fast. Omg ! "Kindred spirits" as Anne would say.
hello carolyn my favourite children classic of all time is daddy long-legs by jean webster this book always brings me a lot of comfort
Those Anne of Green Gables with the vintage covers are pretty.
This was wonderful to see. Loved it. Did you grow up with the Nancy Drew mysteries ? I couldn’t get enough of those.
The secret garden and Little princess are so sweet. Definitely worth a read.
And of course all Roald Dahl. Especially Danny, the champion of the world.
oh! I have the same Charlotte's web! It was a gift an antique shop owner gave to me :)
One of my favourite classics too
You need to read The Blue Castle soon! It's a great spring/summer read. It's my favorite L.M.Montgomery!! It's actually one of the two of her adult books. The other is A Tangled Web :)
I loved the books about Laura Ingalls when i was a child. They are far from the old tv-series “The little house on the prairie” and so much better. I have the books on my shelf and your video inspired me to reread them👍🏻 /Anna
i love finding a fellow long islander on book tube
Your vlogs are like the ICING on the CAKE. Sooo... Gooood... thanks for making this sweet video full of sugar and sweetens.
That’s incredibly sweet of you to say! Thank you :)
@@CarolynMarieReads You're welcome..
really loved this video, I'm studying children's literature at university at the moment so I'm trying to expand my reading in this area ^-^ some favourites from my children were "Black Beauty" by Anna Sewell, and the Blinky Bill 90s tv series
I haven’t read that many children classics but my favorite is definitely Peter Pan by J M Barrie ! ❤️
I enjoyed Jonathon Livingston Seagull when I was young.
Baby Island was my most favorite book growing up! My copy is so worn from reading it over and over.
I love the Moomin Trolls, especially the comet and the winter books, but generally all of it. Highly recommend them and the illustrations. Also, Rabelais's Gargantua and Pantagruel, illustrated by Gustave Dore. I have an old cloth-bound volume where that is combined with Swift's Gulliver and with Baron Munchausen, other old favorites. The Three Fat Men is a very popular Russian classic, by Yuri Olesha. You can find a few illustrated English translations on archive org.
Anne of the Island is my favorite too! Love all the heart annotations! 🥰
The third Narnia book The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a masterpiece
I’m so glad to hear that! I’d love to read the whole series!
I just finished reading the Emily of New Moon trilogy and these books just filled my heart with joy and bliss! I love so many children's stories, but L.M. Montgomery's works will always be just a little extra special and magical to me! I loved seeing your collection
You must read The blue castle it's one of my all time favorites you will adore it I'm sure of that. Also I really enjoyed this video ✨💫
Aww I love the Anne of Green Gables series. Anne of Green Gables is my most reread book. I ordered your portrait of L.M. Montgomery and I’m very excited hang it near my bookshelf
I have such fond memories of reading "An Old-fashioned Girl" by Louisa May Alcott as a child🤗
Thank you so much for the lovely video! I love your collection of children's books! My all time favorite is the Little Prince. I have read it so many times. Your edition of it is gorgeous. I also like the chronicles of Narnia series and Ann of Green Gables
Aww I’m so glad you love them too! 📚✨
My favourite children's classic is Momo by Michael Ende. Thank you for the wonderful videos that you create! Lots of love from Germany
Lovely video! Little women (I mean the first volume) and The Little Prince are two of my favourite books from my childhood. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was another favourite. I also grew up reading an abridged edition of Jane Eyre so, even when it's not for children I count it among my childhood readings. I can't wait for the next episodes of this series!
I reread Matilda every few years, and love it more each time!
If you love Ballet Shoes, I would highly recommend the movie! It's one of my childhood favourites :)
Hi Carolyn ☺️, thanks for showing us your beautiful collection. I love children’s literature, so here are some of my favorite books (that I highly recommend you): Heidi (please read it, it’s beautiful in every way), The secret garden, Peter Pan and Bridge to Terabithia. I hope you enjoy them and a big thank you for your content from Colombia 🙂📚✨.
That's adorable! 💜 I recommend you "daddy long legs" it's so beautiful and heartwarming
I grew up with L.M. Montgomery's books from the library. I don't know how many times I read AoGG. I only purchased my own copies when I was an adult in my twenties. I learned English by reading them with a dictionary. AoGG I purchased new from a bookstore, but the rest are very old editions in green canvas fabric, most of them probably originally had dust covers. I love all stories by L.M.M.
You have very similar taste in books to me, but I still have so many classics that I haven't read, but I'm excited to read them with my kids. There are so many beautiful editions now that it's hard to choose. We are about to start Winnie de Pooh's stories.
I would suggest you read/get the Secret Garden as well. I loved that book too, as well as the movie. I really liked the name Colin, so it was quite funny that when I moved to Scotland from Poland, the first Scottish male I befriended was called Colin.
Super late to the comments but I've been loving rewatching your bookshelf series and realised i hadn't watched this one, some of my favorite children's classics are
Heidi, Greyfriar's Bobby, The Neverending Story, The Railway Children, Oscar Wilde's fairy tales, The Secret Garden and The Animals of Farthing Wood.
I also love Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, I'm not sure it's a classic but sure it will be.
Thank you for so much for showing us your fantastic library, i love seeing other people's books and seeing the different editions.
Hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦👋👍❤️ we had hard covers of all those books growing up (they had been my mom's, she was a reader) my favourite LM Montgomery is A Tangled Web, adult hilarious 🙂😫 my girlfriend gave me Le Petit Prince yes on French...we read all the Enid Blytons.. Noddy and Big Ears. Adventurous Four. Famous Five ( some people say racist but remember when they were written) where is your Kenneth Grahame ?? Wind in the Willows??we also had Thornton W Burgess "The Adventures of Reddy Fox 🦊 Sammy Crow, and many more.
I love A Tangled Web too - seems like no one's ever heard of it!
Matilda, the secret garden, black beauty, wind in the willows, I need to read more too
If you have any interest in sailing, I would recommend the Arthur Ransome books. I also love Dick King-Smith and, if you liked Anne, try to find 'Jane of Lantern Hill' which is also by L.M. Montgomery.
I love your collection so much! ❤
Children's classics are such a safe place for me.
I just wanted to clarify something, the orden of Emily of New Moon series is Emily of New Moon, Emily Climbs and finally, Emily's Quest. I think you switched the second book for the third book there hehe.
I love Anne of Green Gables so much. I read Anne of Windy Poplars when I was like 14 y/o , (My aunt gave it to my mom when they were young and I grabbed it when I started getting interested in books) I had no idea what it was about lol but I read it like 3 times because I was in love with the writing and Anne's character. After years I forgot about it until I found out about the tv show. After that I read the whole series and they've become one of my favorite series of all time. I'm planning to read all L. M. Montgomery's books.
And my dream is to have that book set but in spanish (my native language) 😭 I think it'll be hard to get tho. I just love the covers so much, I need to have them with those covers. Anyway, this comment is already too long haha.
Btw I'm currently reading Betsy-Tacy series by Maud Hart Lovelace, same as Anne's series these books follow the main characters until they become adults. This first book is set in roughly 1898-1899. I think you should give it a try.
Noel streatfield is my favourite childrens writer, if you are able I recommend reading her other books as well, dancing shoes, skating boots and Thursdays child are my personal favourites. Some of her novels are hard to access but definitely worth it.
I am reading the BFG and it's lovely so far
My favourites are The Little Prince, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Winnie the Pooh :) I'd recommend The Secret Garden & A Little Princess, also the Moomintrolls series :) This year I'm planning to read Peter Pan, The Wind in the Willows & Anne :)
Carolyn thanks for sharing this beautiful shelf and mind blowing covers😍 have you read Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass?
I ran to Barnes and Noble and bought a beautiful hard copy of Ann of Green Gables today! I loved the Ann with an E! I don’t like watching movie first , do I hope I love the book as much!!

Could you please make Room tour?
You inspired me to read the anne series. My daughter got the set for her birthday and I am excited to dive into it now
I definitely want to read the Anne of Greengables series this year, I watched the Netflix series and absolutely loved it! It reminds me of my favorite classic as a child "Der Trotzkopf". Like Anne of Greengables it is about a young girl who tries to find her place in the world. The series follows her through her entire life until being a grandmother. Ilse (the protagonist) is witty, funny, and sweet, I think you would very much enjoy it. "Der Trotzkopf" is a German children's classic by Emmy von Rhoden and was first published in 1885. Since I read it in german, I can not recommend a particular English translation, according to Wikipedia there are two available:
Emmy von Rhoden: Taming a Tomboy. Translated by Felix Leopold Oswald. New York: W. L. Allison, 1898.
Emma von Rhoden: An Obstinate Maid. Translated by Mary E. Ireland. Philadelphia: G. W. Jacobs, 1898.
Have you read Ernest and Celestine by Gabriel Vincent? There are very cute pictures in the book. And the cartoon is also amazing!
To make you interested, I’ll say that Celestine is the mouse who draws
So will we ever get to see you singing An Old Straw Hat(and dancing of course)?You know the scene with Shirley and Bojangles?There's a nice dramatisation of James Dean,played by Stephen Mchattie,where he cites the episode of the little prince and the fox.
Hi from the uk I love childrens classics especially watching the different movie versions of them my fave movie is the jungle book from Walt Disney couldn’t get into the book my fave childrens book is little women
Natalie Babbitt was a board member of the National Children's Book and Literacy Alliance, a national not-for-profit that actively advocates for literacy, literature, and libraries. 💝 I discovered her book Tuck Everlasting in The Guardian and treated myself. Afterwards I saw the story book on two of my favourite booktubers channel;) Next must be The Search for Delicious. The Water-Babies, A Fairy Tale children's novel by Charles Kingsley. Written in 1862-63, I have seen only in my collection:)
You have such lovely editions. How do you keep them in such a pristine condition. Nice knowing that youngsters still enjoy Louisa Alcott and L. M. Montgomery
The William books by Richmal Crompton are also enjoyable. Has anyone heard of the Moira and Selena books by Sheela Kaye Smith. I've read them as a little girl and would love to know if they are still available.
Hope you can add Peter Pan to your shelves one day!🧚
🌳🌾Oh! And Cider with Rosie is a 1959 book by Laurie Lee.
I love alice in wonderland ! and loved your video :) what music do you use in the beginning "?
Emily's Climb is the 2nd book and Emily's Quest is the 3rd one. I haven't read this series yet but searched in google.
Oh okay! Thank you for letting me know! 😄
@@CarolynMarieReads My pleasure. ☺
That first one is a big hit in China!
Anne of GG....the BEST!
I love charlotte's web and I have book. Also I have both movies cartoon verison and live action
A very lovely children's classic that I just finished "I capture The Castle" by Dodie Smith 📖🌠
But what books did you actually read as a child? I can't believe you didn't read at least some of these or myriad others as a child. I read most of these before I was 12 years old--well, only Anne of Green Gables of that collection--but Winnie the Pooh, Mary Poppins, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Narnia Series, and so many more that were not mentioned like Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates, the Hobbit, The Sword of Shannara, and on and on. Did you come to reading later in life?
Another from Roald Dahl: the Witches. 👏👏👏
How do you legally become a booktuber?
I think you would love pippi longstocking by Astrid Lindgren it's is one of my favorite childrens classics
Yes! Of course! Among my top favourites..
The Blue Castle is one of my favourite books of all time, I sometimes struggle to decide if I love IT or Anne more 😂
Hi. When will classics be? I cannot wait 😁
Wow that's a great children's classics collection! If I were to suggest a few more, I would say The Secret Garden and A Little Princess. Also, I read The Art of Winnie the Pooh after seeing it on your channel and learned the illustrator of Mary Poppins is actually E.H. Shepard's daughter (Mary Shepard).
I second your recommendations. I loved those two. That's such an awesome fun fact about Mary Shepard.
I love to see L M Montgomery on your shelves. My favourite books of hers have always been 'Rilla of Ingleside' and the Emily trilogy. I have read them all many times. Xx
This video is just wonderful! so good for the soul ❤
My favourite books were\ are Little Women. But now I need to read again Little Prince.
Another book I loved and I can recommend reading Silver Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge. Friendship solidarity and honest work,, a beautiful story with so many values
It’s interesting how you said reading the Anne books felt like growing up with her, because that’s how I felt reading Edmund Morris’s three-volume biography of Theodore Roosevelt.
With the fact you want to be an illustrator, Do you like Selznick. I've come across a few of his books that I find just beautiful and wanted your opinion on: The Marvel's and The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
Thank you for this great discussion of children's classics. My favorite children's classic is "The Twenty-One Balloons" by William Pene du Bois. This book got me into reading books by Jules Verne and by H. G. Wells. I love it and I recommend it highly.
I adore your videos. Just to let you know the order of Emily is New moon, then Emily climbs and then quest. Just in case you read them the order you mention in this video. Thank you for everything you do. ❤

"Heidi" is very good. It needs to be put on the list before the list is 100 books long.
Little Women and The Little Prince are my favorites! I love them so much. I know you adore Russian classics, so I would recommend trying out “The Golden Key or the Adventures of Burattino.” It’s sort of like a Russian adaptation of Pinocchio. I am not sure if there is a book in English, but I grew up with the movie. It was one of my favorites growing up.
when i was a kid my favorites were a little princess, daddy long legs & books by comtesse de segur :')
Have you read Skellig, by David Almond? I read it recently and really love it. And after that one you should read My name iz Mina by the same author. I'm not sure if it's classic, but it is children's literature and left a warm feeling in my heart after I finished the book (both of them).
My absolute favourite genre ❤️
Many of the books on your shelf are similar to what I had as a child and which I introduced to my daughter
don't you have TheWhat Katy did series by Susan Coolidge?
Also thank you for this video ! It feels so good to spend my lunch break with you and your books 🥰 just added Mary Poppins to my tbr, I also grew up with the movie and somehow never knew it was also a book
Lovely video, my dear Carolyn!

3:07 Anne of Green Gables
4:17 BALLET SHOES ( Noel Streafeild)

I recommend Little Men and Jo's Boys, the two later parts of Little Women. Little Men is about a school Jo starts. And Jo's boys are about her sons. I recently bought The Little Prince and A Little Princess. I had to get The Little Prince between your recommendations and others on TH-cam, but I waited till I found a pretty cover. Mine is published by Mariner Books. And my new A Little Princess is published by Puffin Classics.
Heidi is a fantastic novel one of my favorites I have 2 different copies. Little Women another favorite of mine, The Secret Garden is a beautiful story a must read
Oh I love children's books. Winnie the Pooh is one of my favourites.
I have a big complete Mary Poppins edition that I still need to read.
i love children’s books too! they’re bright, colorful and cute! the story is nice and lift-the-flap books, push-and-pull books and sound books are my favorite types. what are your favorites?
Oh please DO read Heidi! I first read it in Year 9(I borrowed it from the library of my middle school) and I absolutely ADORED it!😭💚👒🏞
Heidi is the book that got me into reading children’s classics, while The Little Prince is my favourite book of all time(first read it when I was in Year 7, which is also the same year The Little Prince movie was released ; the fact that I’m an avid Little Prince fan was basically solidified then)!
