Children's Literature Gems100 Children’s Books That Belong in Every Library
(Snarky Annotations Included)
No two children’s librarians will ever come up with the same
list of the 100 children’s books for children up to age twelve
that every library should own. This is my own personal list of
titles and preferences that I think people (librarians as well as
patrons) should seriously consider owning. They have been
selected through my work with children and their presence in
the literary canon. These are titles that will stand the test of
time. Most, if not all, should still be in print.
