So happy to see Charlotte's Web on there. It was always my favourite. But didn't see The Giving Tree or Where the Wild Things Are, which was suprising. Suprised and happy to see The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, which is amazing. And they seem to have forgotten all about Dr. Seuss.  :-\\\\

Check out 2-4. ;)

I think it is lacking in American authors, because it is a British list. But no matter, think of all of the books you can introduce to kids here that they would never be exposed to otherwise. :D Best of both worlds!
