Children's books that are worth rereading as an adult

Surely, all adults, when they were still children, parents read good bedtime story and a children's lively imagination drew images and pictures that left pleasant memories of these tales from childhood. Naturally, the children's perception of reality is fundamentally different from the thinking adult and as an adult, everything is perceived quite differently. Therefore, we strongly suggest you read the following children's books which, by the way, are more suitable for the understanding of an adult, and will help to look at many things differently.

Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland"





Perhaps the best book in the genre of nonsense, so beloved by several generations. Many even believe that crazy story of a girl who fell down the rabbit hole, designed exclusively for adults: too many logical, philosophical and mathematical "problems".

Tove Jansson's "All about Moomin trolls"





Surprisingly, stories about the charming Moomin like to grow with us. Re-read today, they don't seem stupid, naive or childish. You will find what you need right now is you — the quiet kind wisdom, a sense of love and security.

Mark TWAIN "The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer"





A book that will remind you that you can "bend" the world by itself, having only a bucket of whitewash and a brush. Start-UPS, entrepreneurs, take note. And it's a great story for anyone bored with life and want to regain the carelessness of childhood and the spirit of adventure.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery "the Little Prince"

This tale is not just a journey into a surreal, magical world. It is a priceless reminder to everyone, that we make our own reality, ourselves bring to life the wonders — or not bring, depending on their own choice. She says that the main thing — not to fear change and believe in yourself. Anyone who wants to change, to read.

Alan Milne "Winnie-the-Pooh and all-all-all"





Sometimes really wise advice can only give the one who has the head chips. Behind the apparent simplicity of the stories about Teddy bear and his friends lies a whole philosophy, and some of the scientists on the example of Winnie the Pooh even describe the essence of Taoism. We have so far to go don't call: just read and remember the childhood and enjoy.

Alexander Volkov "the Wizard of oz"

Maybe this is the secret of an ageless Saga of Tolkien?

Valentina Oseeva "Dink"





On the surface — the story of the irrepressible cocky girl and her family, children's, friendship and adventure, but deeper — a story about ordinary people living in a difficult era, about ideas and ideals in which he believed and which sooner or later destroyed.

James Barrie "Peter Pan"





How is it that we have forgotten how to fly? Why do children know the feeling of flying, the straightness and depth of feeling, love and lack of shame for her, and an adult — is not?
