It's a good list but I think I'd knock it down about 3 years or so. I think the 8-9 range is probably going to love most of those books.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Pretty good, but I'd like to see a bit more hard sci-fi in there.

Some of our Franco-Belgian BDs certainly can stand next to these books. If not too many.

You don't know of any French-language books for that age? What about Le Petit Prince?

I did forget that one, but I tend to think of it more as an ageless book than a children's book.

As far as unforgiveable omissions go, Lindgren comes to mind, as does Ende.
