This is discussed in the context of two reports published in Ireland during 2002, The borrowers at school and What's the story? The reading choices of young people in Ireland.

It then suggests ten picturebooks published in English as possible additions to a collection, one for each decade from 1914 to 2014, representing excellence in the development of the form.
