It’s time to take a stroll WAY down Memory Ln and answer a pressing question that has been on my mind lately. Did 90s kids have the best children’s books? I’ll let you know right now that the answer is a resounding yes.

It may be by force of habit that we just automatically think anything that has to do with entertainment and popular culture was better for those of us that were born in the 90s, but I’m still gonna share with you the books that I feel made storytime in school fun when we were younger.

I have school aged younger siblings and they are steadily bringing home titles that I have NEVER heard of. I feel that as the owner of a very extensive book collection, it is my job to impart to them some items from the glory days.

It may take a while to jog your memory but once you get into this list, you’ll automatically find some book or other that you were obsessed with.
