Writer's Block: A literary masterpiece

Can't imagine it will surprise anyone to hear me say that my children will be hearing The Chronicles of Narnia as soon as they're old enough to understand that British people talk funny and that that's okay. And they'll be hearing Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time and A Wind in the Door as soon as they are old enough to understand what a tesseract or an echthros are.
Wait, does anyone understand what those are?
I'll probably save A Swiftly Tilting Planet and let them read that one on their own if they want to because I think L'Engle jumped the shark on that one. It was most definitely that series' equivalent of The Godfather Part III.
I was a fan of Beverly Cleary's books as a kid and will share those as well. Also, I will share Charlotte's Web and Where the Red Fearn Grows because I think they are two novels that are excellent at helping a child understand and cope with the concept of death. And I feel that's something children need to learn how to cope with on their own terms. I know those books greatly helped me.
Those are just books I liked as a child. There are so many amazing books for young readers out there right now and I look forward to exploring them. Is it weird that I want to have a daughter and hope that she likes goth vampire books?
