Re: Best childrens books?
My nine year-old is on (about) book 13 of the Series of Unfortunate Events books. She loves them. She's on the second Harry Potter as well. The Goosebumps books are good, she likes those too.
For my part, I enjoyed Stuart Little and the Winnie the Pooh books very much.

Ronin that is horrible! I love it!
What a dreaful list. Did you come up with all those or did you find them somewhere?
My favorites when I was growing up (for non-fiction) were Brian Jacques Redwall series. Heck, I still like those.

Mark Twain 1881"If you don't want to work, become a reporter. That awful power, the public opinion of the nation, was created by a horde of self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditch digging and shoemaking and fetched up journalism on their way to the poorhouse."

The Lord of the Rings. Please make children read these books before their minds are polluted by those dreadful films.
Cowardice is to run from the fear;
Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
But to hold the line anyway.

Re: Best childrens books?
I used to love anything by Roald Dahl, especially the BFG.
"Look I’ve got my old pledge card a bit battered and crumpled we said we’d provide more turches churches teachers and we have I can remember when people used to say the Japanese are better than us the Germans are better than us the French are better than us well it’s great to be able to say we’re better than them I think Mr Kennedy well we all congratulate on his baby and the Tories are you remembering what I’m remembering boom and bust negative equity remember Mr Howard I mean are you thinking what I’m thinking I’m remembering it’s all a bit wonky isn’t it?"

Re: Best childrens books?
Two that I can still remember despite the obscuring gray mists of time and adult life are: "Where the Wild Things Are," and "Harold and the Purple Crayon." I think both had a profound effect on developing notions of imagination and creativity for me as a youngster.
Dr. Seuss books were a big deal when I was very young. Green Eggs and Ham, of course, was a major favorite.
As I grew up a bit, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Chronicles of Prydain (set in fantasy "Gwynedd" which first got me interested in Wales), and all of Tolkien's Middle Earth books were favorites, which I still go back and read ccasionally as an adult.
