I know that Betsy Bird's A Fuse #8 Production has been featured here before - or at the very least mentioned. Right now, she is intent on counting down the 100 Top Picture Books and the 100 Best Fiction for children, based on her most recent survey of school and children's librarians.
This huge undertaking makes great reading, since Betsy not only gives her personal take on each book but a quote from one of the librarians who responded to this survey.
Every day, Betsy will post 10 or so books from one of these lists until she gets all the way to #1. Right now, she has reached #61 on the Best Children's Fiction list. Some of my all time favorites have already been mentioned. And some books I never read, too. I like that. I am always on the prowl for good kids' books, no matter when they were written.
