Scholastic Parent & Child Magazine released a list of the "100 Greatest Books for Kids." Charlotte's Web by E.B. White is given the honor of being #1. There are many other wonderful books on the list and some that did not make the list at all.
Part of the purpose of the list is to promote discussion and controversy. No doubt anyone with some knowledge of children's literature will have an opinion as to why some book should be included on the list and some should be ranked higher (or even lower).
What do you think of the list? What would you have included on the list? What would be your number 1 choice?
For more info about the list check out this article in USA Today.

No Alice in Wonderland or Through the Looking Glass? Really perplexed by this list.
Not sure exactly what the target audience is, as it features The Hunger Games AND Knuffle Bunny. If the list was meant to provoke conversation, I think it will achieve its goal.
