Top ten children’s books of all time by Brian Burton
Children’s books are a part of growing up; we all remember the classics. Images of parents and grandparents reading to us before we go to bed and the stories that have captivated generations, all provided by the best classic children’s books. There is always a debate about which books are the best to read to children, and there are many to choose from. Here is a list of the top ten children’s books of all time.
10. Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson – For over 50 years, this imaginative tale of young Harold has been a standard for children’s books. Harold is an intelligent young man who uses his magic purple crayon to help him overcome obstacles and challenges; a beautiful story that can inspire hope for children to help them overcome their own obstacles.
9. Corduroy by Don Freeman – Another classic story that offers one of the happiest endings in all of literature. Corduroy is a tattered, stuffed teddy bear that is waiting in his department store for someone to take him home. Corduroy is a beautiful story that teaches the importance of patience and perseverance when things get tough.
8. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett – The offbeat story of the town known as Chew and swallow, blessed and cursed with no grocery stores, so their food rains from the sky. The detailed drawings of this peculiar story have made this a delightful and humorous tale of having too much of a good thing.
7. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst – The tale of Alexander who has everything wrong happen to him in one day. This loveable grouch is drawn in great detail and shares a story of unfortunate circumstances.
6. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle – Aimed for the younger children, this is the simple story of a caterpillar that transforms into a butterfly. The beautiful artwork, however, will keep children and parents captivated for years to come.
5. Tikki Tikki Tembo by Arlene Mosel – Based on the traditional Chinese folk-tale this complex story can sometimes be confusing for children, but it offers a great chance for growth and development as well a chance for you to talk with your children.
4. Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak – This highly imaginative tale of a grounded boy who escapes into his imagination to become the king of the scary monsters. Great for children who enjoy a little scare in their bedtime stories.
3. Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd – The illustrated poem that is the essential bedtime story. A simple and repetitive poem to help children fall asleep peacefully.
2. Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss – The whimsical and zany story from one of the most beloved children’s book authors of all time. The moral of this quirky story is simple: If you haven’t tried, you can’t say you don’t like it.
1. The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein – By far one of the most universally loved children’s books, the heartwarming parable offers simple artwork and the beautiful tale of a lifelong friendship between a boy and a tree. A tale that is both powerful and imaginative; a must have for any child’s library.
