Best of the Noughties: Our Favorite Reads from 2000-2009 on AbeBooks. When discussing the best books of the noughties (from ought to ought-nine!) , I would be remiss to not mention the two female powerhouses who smashed records and dominated young minds throughout the decade - J.K. Rowling in the United Kingdom and Stephenie Meyer in the United States. Both Rowling's Harry Potter series and Meyer's Twilight saga bring young people into creative worlds of fantasy and the unknown, and both have enjoyed unimaginable success. But does most successful mean the best?
The fact is, creating a 'Best Books' list is purely subjective, and comes down to reader taste as much as anything else - what books we enjoyed and grew to love, what books moved us, educated us, sparked us to conversation and stayed with us. The first 15 are mine. If forced at gunpoint to choose my favorite book on the list, I would likely decide on McCarthy's The Road. Enjoy our recommendations! Teacher's Top 100 Books for Children.
The following list was compiled from an online survey in 2007. Parents and teachers will find it useful in selecting quality literature for children. Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss Good Night Moon by Margaret Wise Brown I Love You Forever by Robert N. Munsch Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo Oh! Kids' Top 100 Books. This list was tabulated from an online survey that ran at this web site from November 1, 1999 through February 1, 2000. The results leave no doubt that America's kids LOVE to read.
