50 books every child should read...

Whether you are a parent or not this article from The Independent should spark interest with you...especially if you are a reader. The source, Education Secretary, Michael Gove, says that children should read a book a week (11 yr olds that is). I find that goal a bit audacious for this day & time, but i do applaud the challenge.

What i found interesting were the books on the list. Take a look for yourself and see how many you have read in your lifetime. Then consider whether or not you would have your kids read them. Admittedly i did not recognize many of the titles...it could be because this is a British website. Just a guess.
