Newbery award winners

Two questions: Is there a list of the winners on the web?
Which winners do you think are the best?

Check the ALA website.

Here's the direct link to the list (sorry it's so long):

I've been collecting Newbery books for years, and I'm still not sure I could say. The genres and target ages of the books are so broad, which is a credit to the award. Some of the ones that are my personal favorites aren't necessarily the best of the bunch, but here are a few that I think fit both criteria (yes, some are just honors):

A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L'Engle
Holes, by Louis Sachar
The Giver, by Lois Lowry
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, by Mildred D. Taylor
The Hundred Dresses, by Eleanor Estes
From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, by E.L. Konigsburg
Little House on the Prairie, by Laura Ingalls Wilder (multiple winners in series)
Ramona Quimby, Age 8, by Beverly Cleary
The Black Cauldron, by Lloyd Alexander
Charlotte's Web, by E.B. White

Okay, this list is even more subjective than I had thought it would be. I think I was biased towards books I read more than once, and also authors who won multiple awards. What are others' lists?

Thanks for the list! I am suprised by how many winners I have already read (and how many honor books I haven't). Just to clarify, I was asking for personal favorites.

# 3: great list! all great books! I just read The Hundred Dresses for the first time and think that is now my favorite. it is a book that every second or third grader needs to hear.

My favorite Newbery winner - and one of my all-time favorites in children's lit - is From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.
I also really loved Jacob Have I Loved, and I thought this year's winner, The Graveyard Book, was fantastic.

I think I have a new favorite Miracles on Maple Hill by Virginia Sorensen the book is simply magical yet ordinary. Another book I just read that I loved was the Wheel on the School. It is about bringing storks to a small Dutch town but it is really about making friends and being friends.

A Wrinkle in Time is my all time favorite, and got me started on my love of scifi and fantasy.

I also read A Wrinkle in Time many years ago and several times since. I also loved it as well as the other books in that series. I wish I could tesser (is that the right word?) like they did.

Yup. Right word. Me, too.

I just finished reading the last of the Newbery Award winners and will try to put a list here of the books and what I thought of them. I have to say that by the end I got kind of tired of historical fiction and books about obscure cultures. Sorry this is such a long post.
here is my list:
