This is the book that made me decide that I had to try to create my own list of 100 books for children. Not that I can do better then what is offered here by Anita Silvey, a longtime children's book specialist and literature lover, but this book is just so interesting that you have to see if you can come up with your own list. This book however is much more than just a list, it gives the background on many of your childhood favorites and many of the books that will be the favorites of your children.One reviewer states,
When I first saw this book, I was expecting a list and not much more. But the depth and research that went in to this book is extraordinary! Anita Silvey even knew most of the authors and illustrators for these books personally - you can't get much closer to the sources than that! A delight to read, and full of insightful, delightful historical information and personalized anecdotes, this book would be a perfect addition to anyone's bookshelf, no matter what age!Book Details
