A good read then, a good read now

It's really tricky to choose the top 50 books for children. Once you start thinking about it more keep coming into your head.
I remember 'Mrs. Frisby and the rats of N.I.M.H' being read to us in 4th year juniors-now Year 6-by Mrs. Quick our lovely teacher.I can remember having a reading corner with some comfy seats on ...sometimes you got to sit by Mrs. Quick so could see the book first hand. Always such a special 'down time' at the end of the day, much needed then and now.
