This series has been so great for our family. So many books I’d never heard of and our public library had almost all of them. It definitively ended our problem of not having enough books for the voracious 10yo, at least for a few weeks. I’ve shared widely as well. Thank you!

In reply to Mary. I haven't read that one! Thanks for the recommendation. I love his chapter books and hadn't realized he wrote picture books.

Dick King-Smith's "Puppy Love" has been one of my favorite picture books since it was new, and I cried when I heard he passed away.

Actually I am taking my 6 year old to see Andy Griffiths speak tomorrow - he is so excited and has got all his books together for AG to sign and is planning to tell him about his own idea for a book he is planning to write with his friends at school. I'm not a huge fan of Andy Griffiths for lots of reasons (including constant age/gender stereotyping which drives me crazy) but I have to say they have got my son excited about reading in a way that my favourite kids books never have.

In reply to Amanda Caldwell. I'm glad you decided to comment, Amanda. It makes my day when one of my posts inspires someone to comment even though they are usually a lurker! :)

In reply to jen. And thanks for being such a dedicated commenter, Jen! I decided to include Tashi because I like to make sure I don't just have American novels on the list and it is good for younger kids. I wanted to also check out Andy Griffiths that you mentioned in an earlier comment, but I just didn't get to it by the time I made this list.

Wow! Flashback to my childhood! The Watsons Go To Birmingham, I remember reading in school and loving btw! Thanks for the nostalgia, I usually read blogs and don't comment, but had to come by and say something 🙂

I think that given the number of kids' books you have read by now you are entitled to call whatever you like a classic! I have only read the Tashi books (not with my kids - just to see what all the fuss is about!) and some Phillip Pullman - none of the others! More for my list and thanks for thinking up and taking on this fab project!

I'm a little sad the series is over. I *guess* I'll keep reading your blog *sigh*. We are huge Avi fans.
