[Anonymous No.23088792]

Welcome to /lit/'s top 50 children's books. This is a poll created to determine our board's favorite children's books. Conditions:
- You can vote for a maximum of 5 books and a minimum of 1.
- Duplicated votes don't count (example: using your 5 votes for The Big Cat will only be counted as one vote).
- Please format your votes like this: Book - Author (example: The Little Fairy - John Smith, or The Little Fairy - Smith if you're in a hurry).
- Why not 100 books? This poll is intended to be a smaller version of the annual chart.

Would a book that is not necessarily a children's book count?
For instance 1001 Nights is not that widely read in the Arab world, but sometimes is read to children such as the story of Sinbad.

Tl;dr would a book read to children but not necessarily a children's book count?

[Anonymous No.23089350]

>>23089284
Votes will count towards whatever entity has more votes. For example, if there are 5 books for the first book and 1 vote for the whole series, there will be 6 books for the first book.

[Anonymous No.23089362]

>>23089344
Most anons and the OP fail to make the distinction between a book you can read on your own and something for young children. That's a major failing to the validity of the chart.

I don't know what edition of 1001 Nights you read, but the one I read (Richard Burton's) is definitely not appropriate for children.

[Anonymous No.23090259]

>>23090240
>>23090240
This. I have an abridged edition of Burton and in the first few stories there's already adultery, interracial cuckoldry, and murder. I don't think the original is for children. Maybe a retelling.

Like >>23089344 said, 1001 nights is not that big of a deal in the arab world, but some stories in it are read to children. Abridged editions and appropriate for children editions are also somewhat popular. I also think of it mostly as a book for children due to this desu.

Just want to throw this out there. Consider not memeing, while construction the list. Everyone should have some sincerity and genuine class. Whether that be voting for truly good books and not adding stupid meme phrases to ward off normal people. This can be a very helpful resource on the internet. So, hopefully, the picks aren't Nazi garbage, and the recommendations are useful for kids and parents/guardians

[Anonymous No.23090733]

For me it is:
>The Hobbit
>The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
>Voyage of the Dawntreader
>Pippi Longstockings
>Little House on the Prairie

[Anonymous No.23090962]

>>23090733
I had the Hobbit and Narnia. I also really liked Redwall and a Wrinkle in Time.

I guess it depends on what you mean by kid's books. I was thinking like third grade to maybe seventh.

My kids are younger and there are definitely good books for little kids. The Sesame Street "There is a monster at the end of this book," one always gets me, or the uninspiringly named "Dinosaur Kisses," is quite clever as far as books you can read to toddlers. But the Usborne myth books are probably my favorite.

Alice is fucking great. I never got to read it as a kid, but it was so much fun even as an adult.

Holy shit, I totally forgot about taking that book from the local library whenever it was available. I'm this close to impulse buying it right now

>Pippi Longstockings
Is that even popular outside of Europe?

submitted Shel Silverstein and Collodi's pinocchio.
i hardly remember many children books i've read, if i find my old edition of "the happy prince" i might give that a read and add it.

[Anonymous No.23091581]

>>23090962
Yeah, I guess it does depend on what age you're talking about.
When I was around 3 or 4, my favorite book was this one where a train guided the reader through a circus teaching kids the alphabet. Each page would be about a different letter, and it would have little flaps that you could lift to see an object starting with that letter.
I actually loved that book so much, my mom said she would hide it so I didn't keep asking her to read it to me. I wish I could remember the name of it.

I know I'm outing myself as a zigger, but has anyone else remember this series? It's kind of sad to see that it left such a shallow footprint on the internet.

BBC fantasies are not for children, Abdul.

>>23095950
Maybe if you stop seeing BBC everywhere you can be around children to know what they like.

[Anonymous No.23096376]

>>23095950
Why do you call him abdul when you know BBC fantasies are almost a purely white and western thing? Arabs don't need to have BBC fantasies because some Arabs can be black.

I have, and even voted for it, but I am wondering why he calls him Abdul when BBC fantasies are quintessentiallly Anglo and Western.

Only Jews write shit like "da jooz". But it's a fact Jews own interracial porn production companies. They do spread that content. The argument was never that they force people.
