geez...i wish i have those when i was a kid...i'll nominate the voyages of dr dolittle...my fave children lit so far.
This was fun because I loved to read so much as a kid. I always had a book. There were some missing choices such as James and the Giant Peach and lots of Judy Blume titles.
I have 3 grandsons that I read to One has ADHD and another just likes to be read too and the middle one just likes me to be near him so I read what better whay to make their minds open up then read.
I loved Charlotte's Web and Pippi Longstocking when I was little, for my three year old son I love to read Goodnight Moon and No David books! (Not on the list but should be!)
Look what blew into the Zoo and Peek at the Week in the Zoo by Fiona Tierney and illustrated by Úna Healy are definite 'must haves' for children who love funny, witty, colourful books. Would recommend to all children especially 3-6yr olds. Go on - treat your kids!
These books bring back so many happy childhood memories.

Great Book! I loved the colorful illustrations.

The "Gaia Girls" series by Lee Welles features girl eco-heroes. Any kid with environmental interests would enjoy them immensely!
I just adore this book it's one of the best children's book of all time.
It's been great taking a walk down memory lane and having a go-to list for books for my [future:] kids. I will say that it's impossible to rank my favorites, as they're all good for different ages/occasions. Still, thanks for the fun time.
Does anyone remember the name of the book about a man who painted a town all one color and the emotions that ensued?
Where are all the Judy Moody books? Loved those when I was a kid!
You could add them.
My favourite by far is Where The Wild Things Are.....

there are so many books i love. i think tiki tiki tembo was my favorite though
Most of the books I chose were ones I had read to my children and grandchildren. Hardly surprising as I grew up in Ireland and was exposed to a completely different range of books. I have come to love many many children books by American authors and Illustrators. When my kids were young I spent more money on books for than than I did on their clothes! One author, Julia Donaldson of Scotland, really deserves her books to be listed - at least some of them!
Great list of books and interesting to see how many hundreds of great children's books there really are. I voted for a few new ones as well: Tyrannosaurus Dad, Clink, and Amos McGee to name a few. The very best books will grow along with you-- like the Pooh books, Charlotte's Web, Anne of Green Gables.
this list brings so many great memories!!!
Haha these books were great. Loved them, such good memories. Great list! :)
i just went through and added all the books i've read. which were a lot :3
Oh dear, such great books, Fox in Socks is so lovely. <3
A lovely story to introduce to young little minds is Chrichi and the Little Blue Bird. I am the author and have created a line of books that weave simple stories packed with lessons about friendship, giving, receiving and basically turning life's lemons into delicious lemonade. Over the holidays, we have shared this beautifully illustrated story with thousands of little readers (no promoting, just word of mouth). I hope every one enjoys Chrichi's story!
I think it is awesome that many of the books I love are on this list, and that there are many that I would like to read!!!! As everyone can see by what I like and what I voted for, silly are the best!!! My kids love the ones that make them laugh! I was a little disappointed in some of the absent books, but maybe I'll get brave and add a few. GOOD READING!!!!
These books were definitely well chosen. I remember reading at least three quarters of them
The Giving Tree, The Velveteen Rabbit, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, Green Eggs and Ham, Where the Sidewalk Ends, Dude, you have good taste! I will love these books forever!
I love the wrinkle in time and will remeber every thing
How is A Wrinkle in Time a children's book? I think it's a little too complex for a child.. :/Is it wrong that I'm marking all the books I've read as a child as 'read'? It feels like I'm just doing this as a desperate attempt to up my 'read' counts on Goodreads... :/
It is exelent because of the attitude swear words,oh what a horror.good because it tells the reader what is happening in the story.well Tony Hughes was the person who created the story of the Iron Man.And did you know that Matilda and The Twits are actually Shakespeare stories actually.and MARGARET MAYO created the facinating story called PEGASUS AND THE PROUD PRINCE and and the flying carpet.If you read It,It will sound amazing and please become my friend because I am very lonely and I,Adeayo Odedina needs a friend and please sponser me I am disabled.take pity of me. i am poor
I love this list omg! Brings back loads of memories!
The Help is a children's book??? Seriously.
As a primary elementary school teacher of grades K-5, I feel each of the books should be in the classroom library for readers at different levels to read during independent reading time or as read alouds by the classroom teacher.
Mathilda by Roald Dahl !It's a really nice book :) Recommended!
Where The Wild Things Are and all the Arthur books are my favorite picture books.
most of the books I rated are the ones I used during several of our Christmas programs. I tried to make the characters come alive by having my 5 year old kindergarten kids dramatize/mime the story to the delight of their families.
I cried for I'll Always Love You by Hans Wilhelm , by far my favorite
How am I supposed to choose?!?!? :(
guys, vote for "The Giving Tree".Its the best children's book EVER.

I would love that book if it was not for all the racism.
I have just reread "Because of Winn-Dixie"( by Kate Dicamillo) with my 8 year old granddaughter as part as our summer book club for two....the magic is still there!
