Popularity of a book is not the criterion of its importance. A few very popular books are important experiences that we are glad to see many children having, but many popular books are, at best, commonplace experiences. The temptation in buying books for libraries is to buy those that “move,” that will not sit on the shelves. Yet very often the book that rests on the shelf may be the one that would be the most vivid experience of all to a certain child if he could but find it.
