\"\"<\/p>\n

The School Library Journal’s Fuse 8 blog conducted a survey recently of favorite children’s books and these are the top 100 (after being tampered with so that children’s votes were not always counted<\/a> — see the edit note at the end). <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

While I’m not a fan of the way the voting was done, I love any sort of list of good children’s books and I have a new summer goal — to have read all 100 by the end of the summer!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Since we have read so many of these already, that’s not actually too scary of a goal.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Want some new ideas for what to put on your library list (or to see how many you and your gang have read)?\u00a0 Here they all are….<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
