I was doing a tour of the school my oldest will be attending for the coming school year (kindergarten!! 😲) And I discovered these treasures in their library. Man, this take me back! 😅

Nitpickyabouttrains I have Great Illustrated Classics on my shelf too! 7y
Ruri_kaichou @Nitpickyabouttrains I used to own a handful, but I don't have them anymore. My mom was not, what you call, a keeper of things. She loved getting rid of stuff 7y

#riotgram #favoritechildrensbook #favoritechildhoodbook The books that made me a reader were the Moby Illustrated Classics I devoured in grade 3 and 4. My copies have all been lost or destroyed over time. It's taking a lot of will power not to eBay the crap outta them right now because I'm feeling sentimental.

RealLifeReading These look familiar! 8y
ReadingSusan Omg! I got a huge box of those for Christmas as a kid and it was the best Christmas ever. I still have some of them. 8y
bookishbunny I had forgotten about this series. I had a bunch of these and loved them! Thank you for sharing this. I hope I can now have your same restraint in not ebaying them! 8y

Did anyone else read these growing up? I remember getting so angry when I realized that these weren't actually the real books. #classics #nerdchild

RiotMom I have the boxed set, it was given to me as a child and I've moved them around with me for years! It's been awhile since I've read them thought. Might be time to dive back in! (Edited to add that I have the boxed set of the Little Women books) (edited) 8y
melrailey I have these books also. I loved them! 8y
