I couldn't agree more. In fact, my favorite memory of
raising children is the year I spent voicing Gandalf,
Strider, Frodo and all the other characters in the Lord
of the Rings Trilogy, one chapter at a time. It is an
indelible family memory for every one of us.

I think what I really mean by "children's books" are those
books that are given meaning to us by being tied up with
powerful memories of sharing them with our children.

It's a broader definition than the one used by the International
Library Association, but what the heck, it's our list. :-)

Cheers,

David
