The 100 all-time best children's books

This book is a great resource for parents! Anita Silvey is an editor and publisher of children's books. She looked at books published for children between 1902 and 2002 and chose what she thought were the 100 best for the 100-year period. Of course she left out your all-time favorite, but there are many old favorites you may have forgotten and will want to share with your children. She has a short essay on each book, telling fascinating things about the author and how he got started in writing or illustrating, and about the writing of the book. Who knew that Maurice Sendak was "discovered" while decorating department store windows? It's available from Amazon.
