Book Tag | Amazon’s 100 Kids Books to Read in a Lifetime

16 April 2020 /

Hello,

Today I am doing a Book Tag! I first saw this tag on Steph’s blog at A Little But A Lot, and it looked like fun!!

There is a list on Amazon of the 100 Kids books everyone should read in their lives, and Steph went through the list telling us how many she has read! I thought it would be fun to go through the list myself, and see how I tally up. There is also an Adult Fiction List that I will post in a separate blog post!

This does appear to be US based list, as Steph points out, so I’m not sure how well I will actually do, but we shall see!
