A self-described "geek dad" community has released a list of 67 books that they love to read to their little geeks.

"We believe few things that you do are more important than reading to your kids early and often," said the dads, who blog for Wired.com.

"Plus, reading aloud to your kids can be a blast."

The list, which is making the rounds on social media, includes the following titles:

  1. The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick
  2. A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein
  3. Coraline by Neil Gaiman
  4. Magic by the Lake by Edward Eager
  5. Danny Dunn and the Homework Machine by Irene Miller
  6. The Adventures of Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson
  7. The Mad Scientists Club by Bertrand Brinley
  8. Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery
  9. The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
  10. The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch

CBC Books also has a special sections dedicated to books for children.
