#100GreatestChildrensBooks
Observe: Some respondents voted for their very own books and had been invited to decide on a substitute as we didn’t enable this. Some didn’t reply by the deadline, so we eradicated their very own books and re-ranked their different decisions. These respondents have fewer than 10 books listed below their identify. One respondent requested for his or her poll to not be revealed.
