Great children's books

Ben has started reading The Magician's Nephew, from the Chronicles of Narnia. Ben has been devouring books at a rapid rate. I was an avid reader as a kid, butI don't think I tackled a book like that until I was about 10 (Ben is 6). His reading skills are opening the door to a whole world of amazing books. I can't wait to share some cool books with him. I looked around and found some lists of great books for kids:

• Agate Books
• Teachers Top 100 Books for Children (from the National Education Association)
• Kids' Top 100 Favorite Books

In these lists are a lot of great books that you will remember from your childhood. Some of my favorites include The Chronicles of Narnia, The Hobbit, A Wrinkle in Time, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Harriet the Spy, and Charlotte's Web. The list goes on and on.
