Nicholas Kristof lists the best kids' books ever. [link] Of the 13 books he lists, exactly one has a female main character. (Unless you want to count Charlotte's Web. Then, two.)
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

In the blog, he mentions that he would have put in Pippi Longstocking if he had more space. He seriously picked Little Lord Faunteroy over Pippi? Or, actually, over Secret Garden?

In the blog, he also puts in the lists of books that his kids told him should have been on the list. His daughter, in addition to Twilight, also said Tree Grows in Brooklyn, which she says is the "best book ever." His kids also seem to like fantasy a lot more than he does.
