Read "Animal Farm" to my 9 year old daughter. She quite enjoyed it, and seemed to enjoy it.

Looking for suggestions of literature to read to her. Something to stir her imagination, and build her intelligence. Classics that she will enjoy.

Any suggestions?

"I Am David" by Anne Holm

Wiki: "I am David is a 1963 novel by Anne Holm. It tells the story of a young boy who, with the help of a prison guard, escapes from a concentration camp in an unnamed Eastern European country (according to geographical clues, probably Bulgaria) and journeys to Denmark. Along the way he meets many people who teach him about life outside the concentration camp."

That sounds like a movie I saw. Novels with some historical background is good for that age.

I think I was 20 when I read it. So, yeah, I'd say it is fit for a 9 y/o. Great read.

If she enjoyed Animal Farm, read her The Invisible Man. (It's his best book). The characters are quite Dickensian and has a really good opening.
