Oooh I forgot Stripes was by him too. One of Andrew's favorites. Andrew loves the No David book - especially the part where he's running down the street naked! The illustrations are great - check him out!

awesome thread! I love books, and childrens books are so great! I take the baby I sit for to story time when I can, and recently picked up some and am waiting for the ower to get more in. Not sure if anyone is familiar with the Frances books...A Sister for Frances is one that I am waiting for. Shel is another of my faves, as is Where the wild things are (sendak is great!) and In the Night Kitchen is a great book too! OKay 3 more-lol-Corduroy, as in A Pocket For (love it & just bought it) The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton (another one I just bought) was one I loved as a kid, and, this is a great one esp for Christmas time, AND, to top it off my mom still had it, so now I have it, yay! Mr Willowby's Christmas Tree by Robert Barry, I just love it!

just picked up a Charlie and Lola book this weekend, LOVE IT...it is going on the "ask mommy to read with you shelf" along with the Oliver Jeffers books. Also picked up a Madeline book at the thrift store as well as an old National Geographic childrens book (my son loves it-best $0.50 I have ever spent). Another find is a book called "ABC of Canada" by Per-Henrik Gurth and Kim Bellefontaine. Merrik loves the illustrations.

I've always love the books by Eric Carle. His illustrations are made by collage. I used to be a pre-school teacher with the 4/5 year olds and we used to do lots of art work in his style. Lots of fun!
