100 Children's Books you shouldn't miss

So many books stay with us for a lifetime.  Some for good reasons, some not so much.  But what we read somehow becomes a part of us.  Amazon has created a list of 100 Children's Books You Should Read in a Lifetime.  How many have you read?  And passed on to your children?  What would you remove from this list and which would you add? Several of these left me wishing they hadn't had to end and hating to come back to the real world.  Did any affect you that way?  More interestingly, what book had the most profound effect and made the biggest change in you?
