> Hmm...then there are these other books I remember reading when I was younger...

I've read 'The Little Engine That Could', 'The Cat in the Hat', 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar', 'James and the Giant Peach', 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' (and the sequel that you didn't list), 'The Phantom Tollbooth', 'Pippi Longstocking', 'Just So Stories', 'Amelia Bedelia', 'Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day', 'Charlotte's Web', 'Jumanji' (the book beats the movie hands down), and some of the Choose Your Own Adventure stuff.

I've never heard of 'If You Give a Mouse a Muffin', 'My Side of the Mountain', 'Island of the Blue Dolphins', 'Kavik the Wolf Dog' or 'Shiloh'.

I've only read the BAM of 'If You Give a Mouse a Cookie'.

I've heard of, but never read 'The Indian in the Cupboard', 'Harriet the Spy', 'Old Yeller', 'The Pagemaster', 'Hatchet', and 'Curious George'.

I've never had a chance to read 'Curious George', which is sad; I've been especially interested in it since the time I saw that thing on TV where the hero wanders around Vegas solving a murder and asking everyone he meets if they know who the man in the yellow hat is.
