From First Book, via Publishers Weekly here's a listing of authors favorite children's books--the books that got them hooked on reading.

Many of us remember the one book that we wanted to read over and over again; the book that really stirred our imaginations and left us wanting just one more chapter before bedtime, said First Book president, Kyle Zimmer. "The fact that there are millions of children in our own country that will grow up without these kinds of memories because they have no access to books is devastating. We are delighted that so many people shared their stories in order to help us shine the spotlight on this critical issue." The list includes a famous girl detective, a couple from Dr. Suess and the inimitable Harry Potter (must be a youthful author).
