The Telegraph has a list of 110 "best books", including 10 children's books. While I certainly agree with many of the choices (Winnie-the-Pooh, The Wind in the Willows, Treasure Island, etc.), I find it intriguing that there is only a single picture books on the list: Babar. But where is Dr. Seuss? Where is The Very Hungry Caterpillar? Certainly a 10 book list will have a limited selection, but are picture books really so far out of the realm of "literature" that they only merit a token spot on the list?

(As an aside: what is Lord of the Rings doing with the children's books? It's a terrific book/trilogy, but I would hardly file it under children's.)

I tried doing a Google search for a top 10 list of picture books, but all I could find were top ten lists for a specific year, instead of all-time favorites. If you were compiling such a top 10 list, what would you put on it?
