Happy Tuesday, reading friends. It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday post, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week’s prompt is Books for My Younger Self. I’ve decided to give you ten children’s classics that I haven’t read (*gasp*), including two Australian classics, and I’d love to know which of these you have or haven’t read yourself. Have I neglected one of your favourites?
Heidi Johanna Spyri
Black Beauty Anna Sewell
The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett
Stuart Little E.B. White
Little House in the Big Woods Laura Ingalls Wilder
The Jungle Book Rudyard Kipling
The Magic Pudding Norman Lindsay
Watership Down Richard Adams
Treasure Island Robert Louis Stevenson
Seven Little Australians Ethel Turner
I’m 0-10 here as I haven’t read any of these either.
I haven’t read The Magic Pudding yet either.

Black Beauty was one of my favourite books as a kid! Actually one of very few classics I’ve enjoyed…..

Little House in the Big Woods brings back such great childhood memories for me. I can remember reading that one with my mom at night before bed. It’s never too late to read it!
LOL apparently I never read any of these either?!?! Hahah I’m a fake classics reader. I’ve heard of them? And not even all of them? But definitely haven’t read them.
I loved the Little House books as a child but have thought a LOT about how poorly they have aged. I’m halfway curious about revisiting them as an adult because I think it would be a very different experience to read them in 2020 than it was in the mid-1990s. Also, I read Black Beauty for the first time a few years back and it’s pretty solid!
I loved Heidi and The Secret Garden! There are a lot here that I haven’t read, though! At this point in my life, I’ll probably never get to them, either! 🙁
The only one I’ve read ‘properly’ of these is Little House in the Big Woods, although I’ve read young kids/picture book versions of five of the others. Not sure whether that exactly counts or not but it’s about as close as I’m going to get :p
I’ve read six of these, although I didn’t read all of them as a child. There are some I definitely still need to get to. Thanks for the reminder 🙂
Happy TTT!

I’ve hardly read any of these myself, but I have to admit I wasn’t a fan of Watership Down when I read it for the first time earlier this year.
