My children’s lit professor asked each student to bring in a picture book today and tell what made it meaningful. This led me to think about some of my favorites. I hope that you will enjoy seeing them!








Student favorites also included
The Giving Tree
Iggy Peck Architect
Just Go to Bed
Bad Girls Throughout History
Cat in the Hat
Good Night Darth Vader

What would you add to this list? Are some of your favorites here? Do you recall favorite moments being read to or reading picture books to children you know?
Blueberries for Sal was one of my favorites as a child, mostly because I related to the main characters (I loved eating blueberries). Most of these I remember reading growing up, especially Madeline. That is an amazing book for any age!

I enjoyed your comment! I can recite quite a bit of Madeleine.

Madeline was my favourite too. In my family Rosie’s Walk by Pat Hutchins was a perennial favourite. In my library career I have read to many, many children over the years and found that you have to enjoy the picture book yourself to make it enjoyable for children.

I am about to look up Rosie’s Walk. I agree that if the reader enjoys the picture book, the child is more likely to as well. I love everything about reading picture books with children; fostering a love of reading and the closeness of sharing a book come immediately to mind.
