I've never heard of any of these books. When I was a kid, we read Genesis, Exodus, Daniel, Jonah, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
My favorite books were the series of unfortunate events when I was younger. Now,I mainly read about drugs and suicide. Depressing but .. I like them
The Velveteen Rabbit and James and the Giant Peach. Movie for James was a favorite when I was a kid, too.
