Please feel free to add any of the books listed above which, hopefully, is all 1,001 of them.

Okay, I guess I don't understand what can be considered a children's book; I mean Catcher in the Rye and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time? I guess YA falls in this category, in which case I think "Children's Books" is a little misleading. 
'To read before you grow up'? As someone who plans on never growing up I guess I've got plenty of time to get through the list.
Though, I've got to agree that 'Catcher' doesn't strike me as a 'before you grow up' book.
I think we have an overly vague title to this list.
PS @Phillip - Thanks for writing the list out with all the correct accents. It really helped to find things. :)Ange.
You're welcome Angela. :¬)As for the title - there certainly are some young adult novels on the list which no-one would describe as being for 'children' so they probably should have just called it "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up" - but the list title needs to match the book, so there it is.
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE!!!!!!! Hi Ali, I've added Where The Wild Things Are. If there are any others from the list you want to add and vote for just search for them in the box up near the top left corner - the one marked "find/add books to list". Sigh. Obviously 1,001 books isn't enough for some people. The Hunger Games, The Egypt Game, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and all of those books by Bill Peet are not valid choices. 
I can remove them if you like. Grr. I just voted for 97! and it is only saying I've voted for three. Grr. Note: "The Return of the Twelves" is the U.S. title of The Twelve and the Genii. 
Is Hillerman's "Blessing Way" really on the original list? And, for that matter, "Asterix"? Asterix the Gaul is. I think Blessing Way is not. I noticed the "1001" book lists "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens" written in 1906 and then goes on to describe the plot of "Peter and Wendy" written in 1911. "Peter and Wendy" is really good. Just know that if you search out a copy of the listed book it isn't actually the book they intended to list as one of the 1001. 
Phillip wrote: "Sigh. Obviously 1,001 books isn't enough for some people. The Hunger Games, The Egypt Game, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and all of those books by Bill Peet are not valid choices." I read the Egypt Game when I was a child! I was maybe 9 or 10, got it from the Troll book order at my Catholic school. My daughter has been reading it off and on over the past year or so which surprised me because she LOVES anything Egyptian.
Thank you for putting this up. I love this list. I've read about a hundred of these books, but now I'm going to start a reading challenge and see if I can read a hundred more! This is a delightful list to browse through and vote on. I agree with a comment below, however, that some of these books (such as Animal Farm and Lord of the Flies) are not children's books. 
The list goes to 12+. Which I assume means around the 12-17 range. Both Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies, Catcher in the Rye, etc. are all common HS required English novels. Also, a great way to introduce some very sensitive subjects to teenagers. Thanks for the hint -- spam removed.While I'm at it, does anybody see anything else that doesn't belong here, either?
Ha ... trust Susanna to find the duds even if they're buried on the back pages!Removed as well.
Can't find all of them, but I keep looking. 
Where is Asterix Asterix the Gaul is 146 on this list. Or, 540 - 8+ - under the original list. I'm reading this as my son ages. We've read 61 of them so far, but he just turned 5, so that means we're 161 books behind. I guess we'll start reading 2 books a night for a while. I just had a daughter though. Now what? Ha.
All of the above seem to be recent books by GoodReads authors, which by default would make them suspicious to me. Author C. Austin Lee is probably self promoting by putting his books on every imaginable listopia list, although not in the same outrageous manner as the before mentioned James McDonald and his sock puppets. I find this practice really annoying. I go to GoodReads for recommendations, but it takes research to figure out that the ratings of a book that's at the top of "Best books for toddlers", "Best books for five year old girls who love sparkles" and "Best books for 12 year olds about wizards" and everything in between, all at the same time, doesn't have much credibility. I understand that authors love their books, but voting 50 times for your own book as the Most-Amazing_Picture_Book_of_the_Century doesn't make it one. Why don't they let people read it first ... 1st Page Errors:53. The Lightening Thief - not on list.
60. Lord of the Rings Trilogy - only the Fellowship and the Hobbit are on the list and both of them are already on there.
74. Ella Enchanted - not on the list.
78. The House at Pooh Corner - not on the list, only the first collection is.
89. Alice's Adventure in Wonderland and Through the looking Glass - this IS on the list, they just have both books separately and then this one together. So I figured you might want to remove the duplicate.
90. Fantastic Mr.Fox - not on the list.
97. Mr.Piggle Wiggle - not on the list.
100. The Real Mother Goose - not on the list

The list numbers are way off there, I got too confused to fix them.
Okay, that's three pages that allowed me to stall on house work. If someone else doesn't do them I might come back and do pages 3-5 later.
Ech. Looks like this list needs a serious cleanup ... Looks like an Aegean Stables to me, T-A!

So do I...
I've now done a very thorough cleanup of this list. I think I removed about half the books on it...It helped a lot that I'm actively reading the books from the list so I was familiar with lots of the titles.
I'll keep an eye here from now on to not let such a mess up happen again...
great job Ellinor Thank you! I also added a few more books from the list. Let's hope this will stop people a bit from adding random ones... There are still more than half of the books from the original list left. Thanks Ellinor, keeping a list this size in order is an heroic undertaking. Too much so for me I'm afraid! Ellinor wrote: "I've now done a very thorough cleanup of this list. I think I removed about half the books on it..." Oh wow, Ellinor, I'm thoroughly impressed!! I know what even a single page's worth of cleanup involves ...
