Genre of the Month: Picture Books

Hello, Friends.

This month, the genre is picture books. I was thinking about picture books, because of Adam Gidwitz's article on what picture books reveal about one's personality, and then, lo and behold, Lands Uncharted wrote about their top three favorite picture books. (To access Adam Gidwitz's article, click here, and to access Laura's top three picture books, click here. To access Erin's top three picture books, click here.)

What are some of your favorite childhood picture books? What are some more recent ones you like?

My favorite childhood ones are: The Runaway Bunny, and Goodnight, Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, My Dream Bed, by Lauren Child, Sometimes, I Like to Curl Up in a Ball, by Charles Fuge and Vicki Churchill, Tell Me What We Did Today, by Rick Kupchella, What Do You Do With a Kangaroo, by Mercer Mayer, and Today, I Feel Silly, and Other Moods that Make My Day by Jamie Lee Curtis.

Some picture books that have come out recently that I really like are: The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, by William Joyce, Day Dreamers: A Journey of Imagination, by Emily Winfield Martin, How to Find a Fairy Tale, by Libby Hamilton, and Mirror Mirror, Marilyn Singer. (I talk about this book here.)

There are tons of other picture books I love, but it would take forever to mention all of them. :)
