I LOVED so many books, I can’t even name one in particular that stands out. As an adult, I continue to love them and think this is a great article! Favorite book right now? Little Blue Truck. And yes – I absolutely agree they are art work and should be appreciated at ALL ages! Thanks for a great post!

I love the blend of pictures and text – I can remember reading Inch by Inch and the inchworm measuring different things to stop from getting eaten 🙂 And we just enjoyed ‘again’ King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub with our grandsons. We poured over the details on every page!

I loved “Where the Wild Things Are.” In fact, I still do.

“Reading is a learned pleasure.” I couldn’t agree more! And also a means to shared understanding.

My favorite picture book as a child was Tomi Ungerer’s CRICTOR!

One of my favorite picture books from childhood is THE DUCHESS BAKES A CAKE. I also loved BLUEBERRIES FOR SAL. I can’t imagine a childhood without picture books. Even my 12-year-old still appreciates them.
