Don't attempt to homeschool without these books...
Friends have sometimes asked me where to start a home library. My attempt at a list of books, besides the Bible and Pilgrim's Progress, every family with children age 12 and under should own; not borrow, not read once, but actually have as a friend who lives in their home:
The Complete Tales and Poems of Winnie-the-Pooh
Aesop for Children
Daulaires Book of Greek Myths
Favorite Poems Old and New
The Real Mother Goose
Beatrix Potter Complete Tales
Thornton Burgess Animal Stories
Just So Stories
The Little House Collection Box Set
The Chronicles of Narnia Boxed Set
If you have a son, add:
My Father's Dragon
The Swiss Family Robinson
If you have a daughter, add:
Betsy-Tacy
Anne of Green Gables
Any of the books from this picture book list or this elementary level reading list would be nice additions, once you have the basic books in your home.

Wow, we've read all of these and own all but 2 (Greek Myths & Favorite Poems, both on my to-buy list). Swiss Family Robinson is one of my all time favorite books!!
