Is this the GOAT children's book?
What other /lit/-tier kid's books come close?
>>8338329
Gravity's Rainbow
>>8338329
the little prince
howl's moving castle
the bfg (or almost anything roald dahl)
but wind in the willows is pretty awesome. reading it is like sitting on a riverbank enjoying a nice spring breeze. toad is such an ass though.
>>8338329
Gnomes by Wil Huygen
And of course Alice In Wonderland
>>8338329
A Wrinkle in Time
"Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.”

This one is scary

As much as /lit/ hates it, Harry Potter was a fun series. Even when I was 12 and the last book came it still was fun to read.

>howl's moving castle
I need to read that, even if I'm old af.
I watched Miyazaki's movie eight years ago and loved it.

Animals Of Farthing Wood.
Well written, emotional rollercoaster of a book with likeable and hateable characters with themes that can arguable be worth thinking of as an adult.

Toad is such an ass. He's such a great character though

Is that the one with the man with red eyes?
I would put Chronicles of Prydain on the list. Pretty standard fare, but very well written and the characters are actually pretty unique and well-realized. Just reread it about a year ago, and it held up.

read it. I read it in my late 20s and I loved it. there is some cryptic shit in the movie (the end with the prince...what was his deal?) that is explained in the book.

I can still remember the wind the willows with the stop-motion animation. the movie is still fun...but the show is just too kid'ish. still, I love the fuck out of the show when I was a kid.

me again...it's because of the book (and show) that I have a soft spot for wind in the willows. I re-read it every two or three years. it's super short and relaxing.
