Thank you for this list. My children are beyond those early years, but we did our fair share of reading.
Among the personal favorites (and a popular book, generally) was Strega Nona. Not only are the stories (particularly the first one) fun, but the author was from the region of the old country where my family was from, and he effectively captures some of the medieval atmosphere of that peculiar place.
Other favorites were almost anything by Dave McPhail, especially Great Cat and Pigs Aplenty, Pigs Galore. All of these tales might be much too young a read at this point for your set, but they bring back fond memories.
