Great Picture Books

I’ve always been a reader. I can’t remember a time when I couldn’t read. There are certain books that transport me through time, back to when I read them more frequently—because I’m also a repeat reader. When I find a book or story that really speaks to me, I will reread it year after year. Now as a mother, I find myself falling in love with great picture books once again. There’s no shame in loving a well-written kids’ book as an adult!

Here are some of my favorites from when I was growing up:

• The Day Jimmy’s Boa Ate the Wash by Trinka Hakes Noble

• Big Dog, Little Dog by P.D. Eastman

• Little Bear by Else Homelund Minarik

• Morris Goes to School by Bernard Wiseman

And here are some of my favorites now:

• Learning to Ski with Mr. Magee by Chris Van Dusen

• Stuck by Oliver Jeffers

• Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin

• Little Blue Truck by Alice Schertle

I don’t think any good book collection would be complete without some picture books. What are your favorites?
