http://www.amazon.com/DAulaires-Greek-My...770&sr=1-3 Wooo!!! Been looking for this one for a while. I racked up quite the amount of library fees over this book as a kid.

Also recently purchased this one: http://www.amazon.com/Inside-Aztec-Cotti...017&sr=1-1

I LOVED this book as a kid. When our local library was selling some overstock, I snapped this one up quick. Still love it. The illustrations are so fun.

I just realized how fortunate I was to go to an elementary school where we could read such "controversial" stuff. I looked up that list of the most challenged books in the last x years, and our library carried a lot of those books. Well, OBVIOUSLY not the super adult stuff, but stuff like Roald Dahl and Shel Silverstein and stuff like that.

I loved Bobsey Twins, Little House series, C.S. Lewis, Babysitters Club, Anne of Green Gables, Where the Red Fern Grows, and any biography I could get my hands on. I think biographies were my favorite.

My kids LOVE the Pseudonymymous Bosch(sp) series. My son will read everything by Rick Rhiordian and Roald Dahl. He's also into Clive Cussler. It's hard to keep enough books around for him to read.
