My Favorite Picture Books

Lisa's recent post about saving the picture books inspired me to share with you my list of favorite picture books. Here is my list in alphabetical order by author, because I couldn't possibly put them in order of favorite. They're all my favorites!

• Chicken Cheeks, by Michael Ian Black
• The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle
• Roly Poly Pangolin, by Anna Dewdney
• Are You My Mother?, by P.D. Eastman (My very favorite from when I was a wee one)
• The Wide-Mouthed Frog: A Pop-Up Book, by Keith Faulkner (Unfortunately, this is a book that Tigard does not own because pop-ups damage so easily. But I couldn't not include it, because it is one of my very favorite picture books. If you're going to go out and buy some picture books, this is one I would put on my list if I were you.)
• Bark, George, by Jules Feiffer
• A New House for Mouse, by Petr Horacek
• The I Love You Book, by Todd Parr
• Duck on a Bike, by David Shannon
• A Birthday for Cow, by Jan Thomas
• Owl Babies, by Martin Waddell
• Tanka Tanka Skunk, by Steve Webb
• Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, by Mo Willems

Most of these authors have multiple titles that I absolutely love. So if you can't find a specific title I have suggested, look for others by the same author.
