No Enid Blyton, but I'd agree all the others are worthy contenders! (Except that The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Gruffalo are picture books, while the others are novels - I think it would have been better to have two separate categories there.)
What do you think? Are anyone else's favourites in here, or are there others you would add?
Perhaps we could each come up with and share our own top 10 favourite children's books here - I'd like to try devising my own list, but would love to see other people's as well.
