What's the Greatest Children's Book of All Time?
There's no denying the power of a good bedtime story. It relaxes kids before they go to sleep, teaches them the importance of reading, and fills their heads with wonderful imagery as they drift off to sleep. But what separates a good one from a great one? Is it the rhythm of books like Margaret Wise Brown's Goodnight Moon, or is it the simple yet powerful storytelling found in books like Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar that earns these books beloved spots on our little ones' bookshelves?
Now, we've compiled a list of some of the greatest children's books of all time, and we're enlisting your help to choose the ultimate. Start by clicking below and choosing the best book in each round. Once you've done that, we'll take your favorites and pair them against each other until we've awarded the readers' choice for the Greatest Children's Book of All Time!
