The top 100 children’s picture books of all-time brought to you by Read Street, a literacy initiative sponsored by Books & Bards.
 
This Top 100 list was compiled using multiple criteria and a balanced evaluation framework that considered popularity, longevity, sales, literary quality, awards, educational value, illustrative excellence, and cultural significance.
​
There are many other great children’s books that did not make this list but are certainly commended for their contribution to children’s literature. 

Books & Bards, through our Read Street initiative, supports nonprofits that promote literacy and a love of reading.
