If you had to choose only one book to read to your child, what would you choose?
Would you choose something philosophical, historical, scientific, fictional or satirical?

I agree with Bosse de Nage - it depends on the child's interests and age, or not so much the age as the developmental cognitive, linguistic and emotional level. And I also agree with his general suggestion. A lot of the suggestions in this thread sound too advanced for most children at a pre-reading age to me (and if they can read themselves, it doesn't matter that much which book you read to them as they can read lots of other books themselves).

if it had to be only one book or nothing, I'd choose no book at all.

otherwise, I'd expose the kid to as many different points of view as I could.

How about books about psychoanology and postpartem and the like?

How about a book about, 'How to become a social worker'? or 'How to become a Kosovan translator for the Social Services in the UK?

Paddington Bear?

Grim's complete fairy tails.

What's psychoanology supposed to be?

I think that if you specialise a child in a single subject they will become good at it for the rest of their life (it worked well for the polgar sisters). So all that would be needed is to decide what the child should master and buy them the most comprehensive book on that subject.
