Over the last century, writers have come and gone in the publishing industry.  However, a certain few have stood the test of time.  They are the children's books that you read as a child; the one's that you just have to read to your own children.  They are those you can't get out of your head - because of a variety reasons. Each is incredibly unique, funny, playful, beautiful in production and craft; the author can wind a great story that you can't put down; the characters are so lovable, you can see them in your sleep; the illustration just brings the characters to life.  
"Yup, the whole story just gels"

Well, that is what we expect a children's book to do, right?  Here are ten of the very best.  Some of you will agree and there will be books not mentioned that you might want to add to this list.  What are the books you remember being read as a child? ​​
