The language is hard to begin with but the hero is one of the most endearing in literature.

Stig was an eco-warrior before the term was invented. Sprightly, comic, classic.

Howl's Moving Castle, by Diana Wynne Jones The Witch of Waste puts Sophie under a spell. To break it, she must brave the castle of the Wizard Howl. Imaginative and terribly funny. Just So Stories, by Rudyard Kipling Learn how the leopard got his spots and the camel his hump. And remember "The Elephant's Child" - whose "satiable suriosity" turns his "bulgy nose" into a trunk? The Borrowers, by Mary Norton First published in 1953, this remains a deserved favourite. The Clock family live beneath a floorboard, making do with what "human beans" drop, until one day one of them allows herself to be seen… Struwwelpeter, by Heinrich Hoffman These pungent 1840 morality tales are not to be taken literally: in one, a boy gets his thumbs chopped off.

Underwater Adventure takes them into shark-infested seas. Some sharks are human. Tintin in Tibet, by Hergé After Tintin reads of a plane crash in the Himalayas, he dreams his friend Chang has survived.

Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, by TS Eliot This delightful collection of verse sees cat-loving Eliot capering about with his trousers rolled. A perfect introduction to the pleasures of poetry for children. The Iron Man, by Ted Hughes Since it appeared in 1968, the late Poet Laureate's children's book has become a classic. Benign iron bloke falls from sky, battles space-bat-angel-dragon, saves world. Bliss. 请看电影。。。。俺还没看。。。。 The Owl and the Pussycat, by Edward Lear Edward Lear's bizarre story of inter-species elopement and gastronomic adventure still charms and diverts. Runcible. The Wind in the Willows, by Kenneth Grahame "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." But reading about Mole, Ratty, Toad and Badger runs it a close second. The Worst Witch Collection, by Jill Murphy Before Harry Potter there was Mildred Hubble, the worst witch at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches. A tale of flying broomsticks, rivalries and magical pedagogy. Peter Pan, by JM Barrie JM Barrie's Neverland adventures were first performed as a play, and later turned into a novel. Clap your hands if you believe. 哈,小飞侠彼得潘。其实跟我真的没什么关系。。。。 Mr Majeika, by Humphrey Carpenter Mr Majeika, with his tuft of hair, is ever ready to cast spells on unruly pupils - most notably Hamish Bigmore, whose rudeness gets him changed into a frog.

A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett Seven-year-old Sara Crewe is sent back from India to Miss Minchin's Seminary for Young Ladies in England, to discover she has lost her fortune to a swindler and her father to disease. A stirring tale. 啊,《小公主》,秀兰邓波儿,多么美好的回忆。我再也没见过比她更可爱的童星了。 I'm The King of the Castle, by Susan Hill A powerful and claustrophobic study of bullying, this has a real narrative grip and a frightening message. No reader remains untouched. 会说英文的人,应该都会这一句。咔咔。 The Wave, by Morton Rhue Teacher Ben Ross doesn't think his students understand what it was like to live in Nazi Germany, so he devises an experiment. A powerful story about the risks of conformism. Pippi Longstocking, by Astrid Lindgren Pippi is impulsive, irrepressible, red-haired and so strong you won't believe it. Her bizzare adventures delight children and confound health and safety. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl Charlie Bucket's adventures in Willy Wonka's factory - the chocolate rivers, the minia-tuarisation room, the Oompa Loompas - will live for ever. 查理和巧克力工厂,电影拍的没有书写的好看。 Bambert's Book of Missing Stories, by Reinhardt Jung Shy Bambert sends his half-written stories into the world attached to balloons for whoever finds them to finish.

The Silver Sword, by Ian Serrallier Just after the Second World War, a group of children navigate war-torn Europe armed with little more than a letter opener. Tense, demanding and adult. Cue for Treason, by Geoffrey Trease After Peter Brownrigg chucks a stone at his landlord, he has to flee to London. Here he meets Shakespeare and uncovers a plot to kill Queen Elizabeth. Tudor derring-do. The Sword in the Stone, by TH White The trials of Arthur have never been more amusingly described. Merlin is the archetype for all dotty wizards. A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula K LeGuin LeGuin's fantasy lands are scrupulously realised, but it is emotional complexity that makes her books so engrossing. Here a young wizard has to come to terms with the destructive power of his magic. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by JK Rowling The third book may be the best in JK Rowling's series. All the usual Potter tricks are here, but the highlight is the Dementors, the terrifying guards of Azkaban prison. 乐坏了。哈里波特和阿兹卡班的囚徒。 The Chronicles of Narnia Box Set, by CS Lewis The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe isn't the only Narnia story worth reading. The Silver Chair is a powerful allegory of mental slavery; and Voyage of the Dawn Treader sees a talking mouse paddle over the edge of the world. 纳尼亚传奇系列。哈,电影版的,也是新西兰的导演以及外景地。 His Dark Materials Box Set, by Philip Pullman Pullman's riposte to CS Lewis is a trumpet-blast against dogma - but, above all else, a gripping adventure. The BFG, by Roald Dahl At the witching hour, a giant blows sweet dreams into children's bedrooms. When orphan Sophie sees him one night, he takes her to his cave. Beware whizzpoppers! Swallows and Amazons, by Arthur Ransome Childcare used to be a bit less hands on ("Better drowned than duffers. If not duffers won't drown") and one cannot read the adventures of these four children in a lost Eden without a lump in the throat. Clarice Bean, Don't Look Now, by Lauren Child At first glance one for the girls, but boys should read it too. Over the series Clarice has matured from an infant with a quirky vocabulary into a complex, engaging teenager. The Railway Children, by E Nesbit When their father is accused of treason, Bobbie, Peter, Phyllis and their mother move to the country. They pass the time watching trains go by and proving their father innocent, which is nice. The Selfish Giant, by Oscar Wilde Wilde's giant wants to keep children out of his garden so that he can have it to himself. But it stays shrouded in snow until one day, when the giant's hard heart is softened by one of the boys… 奥斯卡王尔德,非常聪明而有趣的作家。 Black Beauty, by Anna Sewell One of the greatest books ever narrated by a horse, with a fine message: be kind to animals, and they'll be kind to you. 应该找同名电影来看看。 Just William, by Richmal Crompton The classic naughty schoolboy, William wages a gentle war of attrition against parental and teacherly authority. Jennings Goes to School, by Anthony Buckeridge Catapults, grazed knees, and mischief of the best sort. Hogwarts may have revived our appetite for boys-school stories, but Jennings was there first. Comet in Moominland, by Tove Jansson Moomin is a peculiar fellow, but through him and his equally peculiar friends the Finnish author Tove Jansson explores the big issues: friendship, alienation, fear, loss and meteors from outer space. The Bad Beginning, by Lemony Snicket This magnificently black-hearted book introduced us to the Baudelaire children, orphaned in a fire and trying to keep one step ahead of the predatory Count Olaf, who is after their inherited fortune.
'If children are to become readers for life, they must first love stories'。 这一百本书包括从儿童期到十几岁的少年所读的书。 先说儿童时期,大概应该列为5到6岁以下。 Part 1: Early years The Twits, by Roald Dahl Mr and Mrs Twit pass the time playing nasty tricks on one another. They're both horrid. In his hairy beard, Mr Twit "was always able to find a tasty morsel to nibble on". Burglar Bill, by Janet and Allan Ahlberg "I'll 'ave that," is the catchphrase of the rogue who stars in this engaging and beautifully illustrated tale. When Bill accidentally burglarises a baby, it turns out to be a blessing in a stolen basket. "Runfrit, Boglaboll!" The Tiger Who Came To Tea, by Judith Kerr Newsnight's Emily Maitlis has a theory that this book is an allegory about sex. Most children understand it as the story of a tiger that eats its hosts out of house and home. Debate continues. Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak When Max engages in mischief, he is sent to bed without his supper. That's just the start. Sendak's paintings sing, and the text is a joy. The Tale of Samuel Whiskers, by Beatrix Potter Tom Kitten learnt nothing from his parents about the consequences of curiosity. Abducted by a psychotic rat, he comes within a whisker of being turned into a pudding. Nightmares guaranteed. Yertle the Turtle, by Dr Seuss Theodor Geisel's response to Hitler was more oblique than Stauffenberg's, but as effective. Yertle, king of the pond, commands all the turtles to stack themselves up so he can be top of the heap. Someone's riding for a fall. Dr Seuss 写了很多故事书,从重复谐音长短句到完整的长故事,滑稽夸大的形象,深得小朋友的喜爱。入选的儿童读物里他就有两个。其实他远不止。 Fungus the Bogeyman, by Raymond Briggs What boy won't thrill to the world of the Bogeymen, all snot, armpits and boils? This gave Raymond Briggs's green crayon the workout of its life. The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None Of His Business, by Werner Holzwarth and Wolf Erlbruch Someone's dropping lands on poor mole's head. Who's the culprit? A farmyard investigation is conducted with Germanic seriousness. Mole's revenge is sweet. Room on the Broom, by Julia Donaldson Punchier than The Gruffalo, this has children chanting along as a witch and her animal friends see off a dragon in search of "witch and chips". The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle "In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf…" so begins this classic board book, its pages drilled with holes as the caterpillar eats his way through the week. 幼儿园必备。 The Cat in the Hat, by Dr Seuss "Look at me! Look at me! Look at me now!" The cat's a big show-off, but he knows how to have fun, and his chaotic antics delight. Charlotte's Web, by EB White White's 1952 masterpiece describes the friendship between a lonely pig and a talented spider. This poignant tale teaches lessons about love, death and differing life expectancies. 这一本大概在国内流传最广,就是很多人都不陌生的《夏洛的网》。 The Story of Babar, by Jean de Brunhoff When Babar sees his mother shot he reacts as any modern child might: a few tears, then off on a shopping spree. Nice green suit, though. Winnie-the-Pooh, by AA Milne, illustrated by EH Shepard Visit Hundred Acre Wood, and meet Pooh, Piglet and Christopher Robin, based on AA Milne's son. This classic story hasn't aged, and EH Shepard's understated illustrations remain the best. 这个维尼小熊好像是铁手的最爱啊。
