List: Top 100 Children's Books

Mountains of books.
This person made a list of the Top 100 Children's Books which I found via here.

Several complaints about the list:

- No way A Wrinkle in Time is second to that pig! I love pigs, but I love philosophical, string theory-esque science fiction more.

- How come they listed all the Harry Potter books by their proper title, but never gave the exact titles for some of the other serialized books?

- This is, of course, a list of books that were originally written in English. Twenty-one Balloons, which technically should belong on this list, was written in French, so it was shunted. Along with other notable kid's books, I'm sure. Someone needs to translate those. Or I need to learn 32 more languages. Which ever task is faster is fine with me.

Some good things about the list:

- I have never heard of half of these. Which is nice since I now have a new reading list. On the other hand, my shabby excuse for a local public library probably won't have any of them.

- The Gossip Girl and Twilight books are not on here, for which I am so. Very. Thankful.
