These books (singles or series) are classic must-reads and perfect for an afternoon on the couch as the weather starts to turn! You will rediscover characters you loved, memories forgotten, maybe even read a book you never read. Your children will be introduced to new friends and stories that will hopefully stay with them for a lifetime! And most of all, you will spend time together!

I would like to petition to get A Wrinkle in Time on this list! It's still my favorite book ever.
