Well I didn't see it on either of the lists, but I know it was on those lists at one point, and that is The Grapes of Wrath. That is the book that made me a big Steinbeck fan... I never felt as strongly about Of Mice and Men, which is a great read, but not my favorite of Steinbeck or banned books.
As for the lists I'd go for the Silverstein book, A Light in the Attic, mostly because I loved his books when I was young, so young that I guess I'm not sure why that book is on the list.
