*Some may argue that this series isn't strictly a children's series and I agree. The later books are incredibly dark and handle intense topics. However, I do think Sorcerer's Stone falls under the category of children's books because Harry is eleven and that's where his adventure begins.
Great list! Your's is the first I've seen with children's books. Mine is on YA books: http://bookishginger.blogspot.com/2014/08/top-ten-tuesday.html
