Forgotten Favorites in Youth Literature
Are you looking for Children and Young Adult books that are worth reading? You’ve come to the right place! I have a master list of over 700 titles to share. My purpose with this blog is to share book titles that most parents today have either forgotten about or never heard of in the first place. I have a degree in English Literature, I’m a mother of five, grandmother of eight and homeschooled my children for 15 years. Our family read hundreds of books together over the past 30+ years. I hope you’ll join me as we remember the best that Youth Literature has to offer.

The Cinnamon Bear radio show recorded and first broadcast between Thanksgiving & Christmas in 1937. Now available at Amazon on CD or Amazon audiobook for immediate download. A holiday classic following twins, Judy and Jimmy, whose Christmas Tree Star has been stolen by the Crazy Quilt Dragon! A thrilling adventure, reminiscent of The Wizard of Oz, begins! Recorded in 26 episodes to last the entire holiday season. One of my dear friends bought us the cassettes back in the early ‘90s and it quickly became a beloved holiday nighttime tradition! I just purchased copies for my grandchildren to listen to this year. Merry Christmas! #kidsbookclub #kidsholidaybooks #kidsholidayaudiobooks #christmasstoriesforkids #thecinnamonbear #oldradioshowsI feel like the luckiest grandmother on the planet! @everydayreading @merricksart @measureandwhiskHow was I so fortunate to have such good children? #blessedbeyondmeasure @crawfordgates @merricksart @measureandwhisk @everydayreadingThe Little House Books (8 volumes) by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Middle Grade Reading Level, 250+ each volume, Published 1932 - 1971. I get all teary eyes just remembering the many nights reading these books to my precious little girls. Many of the titles I re-read with them individually as they grew up. My husband’s uncle was a professor of history at Columbia for many years and he said if you want to really understand the Western Expansion experience, you can’t beat Mrs Ingalls novels/biographies. They are based on her family’s experiences, but are written as novels and with some changes from reality to help the narrative flow. There are many spinoffs and, of course, the TV show from the 1970’s. Curl up and enjoy a piece of American history with your littles. #kidsbooksworthreading #readaloudrevival #lauraingallswilder #littlehousebooks #historyforkidsCategories
