Book Riot's 31 of the Top Children's Books

"What books do children (and their parents, teachers, school librarians) return to again and again to soothe a toddler to sleep or to ignite a child's imagination? What books keep older children, as they turn into young adults, returning to the library and to books to satisfy their evolving curiosities? The top children's books (culled from the American Library Association, Amazon, Boston Public Library, Los Angeles and the New York Public Library) can guide your child into a love of reading that has your child becoming a lifelong learner—and what could be better than that?"
