Children's Choices for 2003

Each year, the International Reading Association and the Children's Book Council invite teachers, librarians and children to vote on "the best books published during the year". Seven hundred books were evaluated by young readers and a list of 103 top titles was selected. The books are grouped by reading levels.

A sampling of titles from the beginning readers list follows:

The Bear on the Bed by Ruth Miller

The Bugliest Bug by Carol Diggory Shields

Can You Make a Piggy Giggle by Linda Ashman

Christmas Cricket by Eve Bunting

Duck on a Bike by David Shannon

Hunter's Best Friend at School by Laura Malone Elliott

The Magic Hat by Mem Fox

The Wolf Who Cried Boy by Bob Hartma
