Amazon has released a new version of its 鈥100 Books to Read in a Lifetime,鈥 this one centered on children鈥檚 books.
Newer titles on the list include the book 鈥淲onder鈥 by R.J. Palacio, 鈥淒on鈥檛 Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!鈥 by Mo Willems, 鈥The Lightning Thief鈥 by Rick Riordan, 鈥淭he Tale of Despereaux鈥 by Kate DiCamillo, 鈥淕oodnight Goodnight Construction Site,鈥 by Sherri Duskey Rinker, "The Bad Beginning" by Lemony Snicket, "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" by Brian Selznick, and the frequently-banned 鈥And Tango Makes Three鈥 by Justin Richardson, which portrays two male penguins raising a baby.聽
The list is arranged alphabetically, so all titles are equal. Other books that made the cut include classics like 鈥淕oodnight Moon鈥 by Margaret Wise Brown, 鈥淟ittle House on the Prairie鈥 by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and 鈥淭he House at Pooh Corner鈥 by A.A. Milne.
Amazon鈥檚 picks also feature many overlaps with a list compiled by librarians at the New York Public Library in 2013, including 鈥Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day鈥 by Judith Viorst, 鈥Bridge to Terabithia鈥 by Katherine Paterson, 鈥淭he Westing Game鈥 by Ellen Raskin, and others.
