I couldn't stand a few of those books at that age though.
Which ones?
His Dark Materials, Chronicles of Narnia, Tom Sawyer. I found them dreary.
And like Tom said, now that i think of it, nearly everything fron that list which I have read, I read aged 7-9.

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.

I think most "reading" children will have read those books before age 11.

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