I am truly amazed by the selection of books available to children today. It is nearly impossible to keep up with the newest books, but I try my best to get my hands on the latest and greatest books, as well as the classics. Below is a link to the Top 100 Children's Books of all time. As I glanced at the list I have read 75 of these books in the last 3 years. (I know I have an advantage as I am a classroom teacher!) How many have you read? Even though I don't agree completely with this list, at least it offers a good jumping point to help you begin to grow your home library, or which books to borrow from your local library.

Some other quick tips about this list...
As I've mentioned before, I love board books for younger children. They are more durable. They are also easier to pack when you go on vacation, or to throw in your diaper bag.
I noticed in many of the reviews next to the books they mention if the book has rhythm or rhyme in it. Kids automatically love rythym and rhyme, so try these books (Dr. Seuss, Bill Martin Jr., Sandra Boynton)
Your challenge - Read a book off this list today. Let me know what you read and what you thought!
