Favorite Kids' Books--UK edition

Do British newspapers cover book news--including, or perhaps especially, children's book news--better than American ones? I go to The Guardian for book news all the time; now The Daily Mail is getting in on the act. Here are the results of a recent poll about favorite children's books; I've bolded the ones I've read. I think an American list would look quite different. (Well, yes, it does--not quite the same thing, but I posted about an NEA list some time ago.)

1. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis
2. The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Eric Carle
3. Famous Five, Enid Blyton (The admin. asst. in our office--who is British-- is always asking me if I've read Blyton; she says her teachers sneered but the kids loved them.)
4. Winnie the Pooh, A.A. Milne
5. The BFG, Roald Dahl
6. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, J.K. Rowling (I wonder why just this one?)
7. The Faraway Tree, Enid Blyton
8. The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Grahame
9. Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll
10. The Gruffalo, Julia Donaldson
11. The Tales of Peter Rabbit, Beatrix Potter

13. Matilda, Roald Dahl
14. The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett
15. The Cat in the Hat, Dr Seuss
16. The Twits, Roald Dahl
17. Mr Men, Roger Hargreaves (I know I've read at least one of these)
18. A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens
19. The Malory Towers series, Enid Blyton (I have heard talks on these books so often it feels as if I've read them, but I don't think I really have)
20. Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie
21. The Railway Children, E. Nesbit
22. Hans Christian Fairy Tales, H.C. Andersen
