Hello all! This week I offer you thirteen picture books that I love. It shouldn’t be too surprising to discover that I have reviewed every one of these books before. If you would like to know more about my opinions on each book that “I love this book” click on the book title, and it will take you to a review of the book. Yes. I love picture books and I really enjoy discovering new gems of the genre. Do you have any favorites to recommend? Do you agree with my selections? Please let me know.

    Well, you can’t beat The Library Dragon by Carmen Agra Deedy. Reminds me of a certain co-worker.

    I’m so out of the loop with children’s books these days…mine being all grown up. Does it count that I love certain graphic novels (just a couple of them…)?

    What a great list! I love picture books too. Patricia Polacco’s books are almost all favorites of mine. Thank You Mr. Falker makes me cry every time I read it.

    Great list! I love picture books! One of my current favourites is Jackie French’s DIARY OF A WOMBAT. It’s an adorable book. :)

    I don’t know any of those but some of the titles are very intriguing.

    We LOVE the pigeon over here. Even the Tour Manager and I pick up pigeon books when the kids bring them home.

    As for Even Mars Needs Mom, I read it in the bookstore awhile back and almost bought it for my mom. What a great book.

    Rims - I hope that you find one you’ll like.

    Chrisbk - I don’t think I’ve read that one. Thanks for the tip.

    damozel - I don’t think that graphic novels count in this category. They have their own level of cool. Why not give one of my picture books a try?

    Country Dawn - that would be because your kids have excellent taste.

    This Girl Remembers - I’ve enjoyed Babushka Baba Yaga. I’ll have to check out some more of her stuff. Thanks!

    Sandra - I *love* Diary of a Wombat. Excellent choice.

    Nicholas - be sure to check one out.

    Susan - I reviewed the book, then passed it on to my Mum to read. She liked it. Also, everyone should experience the pigeon.
