Simple Homeschool's Top 25 Read Alouds
Not a free resource, but a great one: Jim Trelease's The Read-Aloud Handbook.
(And, ETA, thanks, Liz in the comments: Honey for a Child's Heart. Great reading lists in that one, too. Can't believe I'd forgotten to include it.)
I know there are more ... now where did I leave that other pile of lists?

Honey For A Child's Heart and Books Children Love were two resources I went with. I discovered the Arthur Ransome books through The Growing Without Schooling Newsletter. But Honey For A Child's Heart was my go to for years and years. I hate to think of the books we would have missed without that one. Trelease couldn't even touch it.
Liz, thank you, yes! I can't believe I forgot to include that one. Will edit the post asap. :)
Honey for a Child's Heart was the book we relied on for literature lists while homeschooling. Like the Trelease book but informed by a specifically Christian worldview.
Yes, I remember when I found Honey for a Child's Heart -- I had already found many of the book recs/pieced together much of what it offered from other sources (and by then, there were so many discussion groups on the internet, and those were a great resource, too), but it was a great one for bringing it all together. I lent my copy out to someone and never got it back, so it had faded a bit from my memory! :) Glad you two mentioned how much it helped you. I've always found Alicia van Hecke's work (book reviews, booklists, etc., at Love2Learn) to serve the same purpose, keeping our Christian worldview in mind.
Wow, wow, wow! So excited to see these lists. We homeschool, so ostensibly I'm happy to have the resources for my kids, but really it's for me. ;) Can't wait to get reading.
Yes, Rachel, I love booklists, too. They make me happy. :)
