1 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Roald Dahl

Best book ever... Must read...
Awesome narration, and the best part were the funny poems... They rocked
Roald is d best... Nobody can match him in his story endings...

There's an early version of the book with a character named Miranda Piker. The early Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had 15 kids.

Movie's better in my opinion.

2 The Cat in the Hat - Dr. Seuss

I had this book I ripped it up on purpose them my parents took the book away since I kept ripping it up, they were not happy with me, I was 4 or 5 when I did this

Nobody likes green eggs and ham.

I love this book

4 Charlotte's Web - E. B. White

Charlotte's Web - E. B. White Product Image

Ok ok I used to really like this book when I was younger but now I've recently reread it and I've realized that it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORING! The character are boring! The plot is pretty weak! I mean the whole story is about a pig and a spider reallly really! Was this the BEST you could have thought E.B White! The relationship between Wilbur and Charlotte was rushed and could have done a LOT BETTER! Most of the book feels like filler! Wilbur is a TOTALLY gary sue! I mean he LITERALLY HAS NO FLAWS is loved by everyone and has a tragic backstory! This is my least favorite book!

5 The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - L. Frank Baum

I actually read this book five times, and all the other books in the series. I really like Toto.

6 Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Jeff Kinney

Its genderflipped version is Dear Dumb Diary by Jim Benton. Marketed to girls.

This should be Number 1!

The best book so far. Probably became a educational T.V. show during the 90s entitled "Disney's Adventures in Wonderland" which had a adorable Elizabeth Harnois.

12 The Adventures of Captain Underpants - Dav Pilkey

Or how about the whole Captain Underpants franchise? - The Ultimate Daredevil, who thinks that Captain Underpants will get DreamWorks back on its feet

13 How the Grinch Stole Christmas! - Dr. Seuss
