The New York Public Library has released its 100 Great Children's Books.
Thought it might be of interest to post. Check out the entire list at this link: http://www.nypl.org/childrens100

How many have you read? Can you think of a book that you would add to the list?

Classic Books that I would consider for the list include:
Around the World in 80 Days
Swiss Family Robinson
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Heidi
Black Beauty
The Prince and the Pauper.

Other books I'd consider for the list include:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Anne of Green Gables

Activity: Show the list to your students. Ask them how many of the books on the list they have read. Ask them to suggest a book to add to the list of great 100 Children's books. Why would they think other kids should read the book that they suggest for the list?
