Unless you happen to have young children at home or work for an organization like First Book, it might have been quite some time since you’ve been tuned into the most popular books for young children.

One of my colleagues recently sent me a Washington Post article highlighting a new study tracking the most read books by American children at each grade level.

Although you might think that new books, such as the Harry Potter novels, would dominate the list, the majority of the list is anchored by classic titles – everything from Green Eggs and Ham and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, to Bridge to Terabithia and To Kill a Mockingbird.

It’s encouraging to know that so many of the best stories that were read to me as a child are still perennial favorites.

Be sure to take a look at the entire list with the top five favorite books for each grade level and let us know if any of your childhood favorites made the list!
