When my elder daughter was born I all of a sudden became aware that I knew practically nothing about the 20th century English-language children's literature. That came as a shock, since by that time I had been teaching English for almost 10 years. Since then I have read and studied a lot of children's books as well watched and learned children's films, songs, etc., in particular, from the point of view of using them in the classroom environment for learning English. I have accumulated an extensive library of children's books which I will be happy to share with you.
