Scholastic's Parent & Child magazine unveiled the final selections for their list of the 100 Greatest Books for Kids, and E.B. White's classic tale Charlotte's Web nabbed the top spot.

Of the more than 500 titles we considered for our 100 Greatest, Charlotte's Web seemed to have touched the most readers, the company wrote.

The magazine's editor, Nick Friedman, said the list is meant to generate controversy and conversation, according to a USA Today report.

Classic favorites that made the list include The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (#36), The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame (#14), and Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery (#11).

Popular modern reads on the list include Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling (#6), The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (#33), The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket (#57), and Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney (#38).

Did your favorite book of yesteryear (or yesterday) make the list?
