My fav. childrens author would have to be Beatrix Potter. I used to read her stories for hours on end. I still have that exact same book.

I've always loved Dr. Seuss. I know that sounds a bit clichéd, but it's true.

Dr. Seuss, without a doubt. His books are so classic, and will hopefully never go out of style. I work at a used bookstore, and everytime we get the Seuss books in, I put them on display. Within an hour, they have been sold.

JK Rowling and the Harry Potter books are really good. I like the 3 investigator series. There were 3 or 4 different authors who wrote books in this series.

I not much interested about reading books before, but when I've read the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, it changed my hobbies. Now I'm very much interested about books so for me J.K is the best

Well...
For the age group of 6 to 9, 10: Enid Blyton, C. S. Lewis.
For the age group of 10 to 12, 13: C. S. Lewis, J. K. Rowling.
For the afe group of 13 to 15, 16 or a little more: Christopher Paolini, Eoin Colfer, Phillip Pullman, J. R. R. Tolkein, etc.

As a matter of fact, from 12 year old onwards, we're not considered kids, are we?

That's a hard one! I'll say J.K Rowling, C.S Lewis, and J.R.R Tolkien.

J.K.Rowling is one of the best, her stories grip you to the edge of your seat.

Aesop......... because of the moral lessons in his animal stories.......... And those not popular children's book authors who made the nice and wholesome illustrations in the books they authored.

These were my favorites from when I was a kid (in no particular order):

Dr. Seuss
Eoin Colfer - Artemis Fowl series
Garth Nix - Keys to the Kingdom series
JK Rowling - Harry Potter series
Brian Jacques - Redwall series
Christopher Paolini - Inheritance series

I consider Narnia (C.S. Lewis) and His Dark Materials (Philip Pullman) to be fantastic children's literature of a much higher calibur than the works listed above.

As for Tolkien, I wouldn't even consider him a candidate for this thread. His masterpieces are far above and beyond everything else posted here.
