Children's literature has to be Harry Potter for the last few generations at least.
Good shout. I'd maybe make a case for Roald Dahl being the true measure of the genre in the sense that children today devour his books in the same way their parents and maybe even Grandparents did.

However JK Rowling certainly picked up the baton. I started to read the Harry Potter series when I was 11 or 12 and I finished the series when I was in 3rd year at uni. Now I can't wait to read them, and Dahl, to my own child.
