Top 100 Children's Books of All Time

Hello All,

From my friend's blog, Confessions of a Bibliovore, with thanks:
"It's a rule of the internet - you give us a list, we'll give you a meme. Another rule is that if it exists, there is a fetish community for it, but this post has nothing to do with that.

This one's based on Betsy Bird's top 100 children's books of all time and has been bouncing happily around the kidlitosphere since Betsy announced the number one book on Monday morning. It's very simple, bold the ones you've read."

Looking forward to a Young Adult/Teen list similar to this.

Happy Reading!
