Skeptic here. It might have come up #1 on the list, no book is put first by a majority. The pool is too rich and broad with the Oz books, Tolkien, Dr. Seuss, so many others.

One reason Narnia gets around so much is grandparents. Ooooh, a Christian book for the grands. None of that skeptical Wizard of Oz stuff.
