100 Best Books for Children > Customer Review #1:
Absolutely essential for every family

As a former bookseller and librarian, I was often asked by confused parents and grandparents for book suggestions for children of a particular age. This wonderful book belongs on every familys bookshelf, not only because it will suggest the next good book to read, but because it gives a tantalizing look at the stories behind each book--and that always makes reading more fun. Youre sure to find your own favorites here, as well as books you havent come across. Even if youve read every one of these books, youll enjoy the chatty tone of the book descriptions. I couldnt put the book down!

Looking for a book to give a new parent? A new grandparent? Think of this gift first--because youre expressing the importance of reading for another family. More importantly, buy it for yourself ... and enjoy!

Stunning resource for anyone who loves kids!

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 cant 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 anyones bookshelf, no matter what age!

Every home should have a copy of this book

I sat down and read this book from cover to cover. It was fascinating. Not only was it fun to see if I agreed with Ms. Silveys choices for best books, but there is so much behind-the-scenes information here, I felt enticed to read or re-read each of the books on her list. Every parent, grandparent, teacher, and librarian will find this book not only useful but inspirational.
