《给孩子100本最棒的书》内容简介：一个小女孩在读完《月亮晚安》后，她把书放到地板上，努力想要爬进书里去。一位家长一天之内给孩子讲了25遍《好脏的哈利》的故事，孩子还说：“再给我读一遍。”一个讨厌看书的10岁小男孩，拿起《哈利·波特和魔法石》，如饥似渴地读了五遍……当孩子们接触到书并阅读这些书的时候，会有许许多多上述这样的故事。在孩子的智力发展过程中，一本好书提供的快乐是其他任何事情都无法比拟的。孩提时代的阅读，带给我们的记忆是时间难以抹掉的。从小到大读书的孩子，更能融入社会。读书给孩子听、陪着孩子一起读，是父母、祖父母等成年人应该做的重要的事情。

童年非常短暂，我们需要在这短短数年中培养他们的文学修养。就像有文化的成年人知道要读哪些书一样，孩子们也应该了解这些童书。如果我们不能把这些书介绍给孩子，他们在成年的时候将会缺乏文学修养。
