From Blank Paper they show us a list published on the Flavorwire website with the 25 books that every child should read in his infancy.
We know that the final lists are always relative, since there are many titles that, at the discretion of others, would be out of the selection.
Let's see the 25 books which recommends that every child should have read and analyze:
- 'The little prince', by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
- 'Where the monsters live', by Maurice Sendak.
- 'The Pushcart War' by Jean Merrill
- 'The Sweetest Fig' by Chris Van Allsburg
- 'Matilda', by Roald Dahl
- 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn', by Mark Twain
- 'Dealing With Dragons', by Patricia C. Wrede
- 'Alice in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll
- 'A magician of Terramar', by Ursula K. Le Guin
- 'The Wizard of Oz', by L. Frank Baum
- 'Harriet the Spy', by Louise Fitzhugh
- 'Half Magic' by Edward Eager
- 'Peter Pan', by James M. Barrie
- 'A Wrinkle in Time', by Madeleine L'Engle
- 'The wind in the willows', by Kenneth Grahame
- 'Madeline' by Ludwig Bemelmans
- Shel Silverstein's 'Where the Sidewalk Ends'
- 'The Phantom Tollbooth', Norton Juster
- 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry
- 'The House at Pooh Corner', by A. A. Milne
- 'The Story of Ferdinand', by Munro Leaf
- 'Charlotte's web', by E.B. White
- 'Lizard Music' by Daniel Pinkwater
- 'I Capture the Castle', Dodie Smith
- 'Oh, The Places You'll Go!', Dr. Seuss
For starters, most are books written in english, with few exceptions. In my opinion there are essential titles such as' The Little Prince ',' Alice in Wonderland ',' The Wizard of Oz 'and' The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, classics of children's literature that can not be missing in the library of our kids, to read and reread.
Others are interesting, but they could be replaced by books that deserve to integrate the list as 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and as we mentioned in the post of the guide launched by Imaginarium with the 20 essential books to read during childhood titles like 'Guess how much I love you', 'What does the moon taste like?' and 'The Grúfalo'.
If we had to make a list of our own, what other titles would you include?
