Visualizing the Top 100 Children’s Novels

April 12, 2010 by Travis Jonker   4 comments

In honor of A Fuse #8 Production’s Top 100 Children’s Novels countdown coming to an end, I threw together a Wordle to see which words popped up the most. I’m now off to write what will surely be the most successful children’s book of all time: Little Harry Potter and the Green Witch Ramona Mountain Game.

    It’s sad to see that the works of Diana Wynne Jones and E. Nesbit are not popular enough to register their names here. I wonder why.

    Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this site.

    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between usability and appearance.
    I must say you have done a amazing job with this.

    Additionally, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Opera.
    Outstanding Blog!
