Take a stroll down memory lane.
A formative and downright essential part of youth, children’s books fuel childhood imagination and education alike. It could even be said that, as adults, most of us still reflect fondly upon the titles that moved and inspired us when we were young. In turn, we share these books with our own children, preserving a tradition as old as storytelling itself. Consequently, the books and stories are renewed in terms of impact, so they remain as fresh now as they were when they first debuted.
That brings us to our list of 100 great children’s books from the last 100 years, as picked by librarians. Using an article from the New York Public Library as our source, Stacker sorted the titles according to publication year. Before unleashing “Where the Wild Things Are” upon the world, author and illustrator Maurice Sendak delivered “Pierre: A Cautionary Tale in Five Chapters and a Prologue.” The book follows its titular character, an apathetic young boy who must learn how to care the hard way. Specifically, young Pierre has a change of heart after a lion swallows him whole and spits him out. Both a cartoon and stage version of the story appeared in “Really Rosie,” the musical production based on Sendak’s works.
