Picture Books I have Loved

Nothing like curling up with a good book (or twenty) over the  holidays.  Below are some of my favourites.  Just click on the image to get to Amazon, where you can conveniently read more about it. I love that it is easy to check professional reviews like School Library Journal and Kirkus Review. 
 These books were chosen because of their wonderful kid-appeal.  Most of them make great read-alouds, and are stories I love to share.

Compiling this collection of picture books that I've loved, felt like a walk down school library lane for me.  I picture all the students I shared these books with: the students who gasped when they understood the ending of The Sweetest Fig.  The students who said, "You have to read One Green Apple, Mrs. N., you'll love it!"  The group of kindergartener's who liked to chime in during King Bidgood's in the Bathtub.

Ah, sweet nostalgia!  Life is just better when you can share the books you love.
