Oh yes, definitely. I just wish it had been phrased as suggestions, rather than as books they "should" read. I also wish the list had better reflected the sort of stuff today's children are really loving, not somebody's (whose?) idea of what they should be loving. If you'd asked a group of children's librarians to put together a list of "books that are likely to inspire children to love reading" it wouldn't have looked much like this list in question.
