This is a listing of Kid-Lit's Children's Classics. To be included on this list, the book has to:
have
been written before 1930
feature a child, children or animals as prominent character(s)
feature a story which is still of interest to children today
Read Aloud/Audio Books: Some of these books are very long and complicated or feature dialect which many children find troublesome. It is probably unrealistic to expect most children under the age of 14 to read these on their own. Please consider these books for read aloud or audio selections.
