We are big readers in this house. Each of us has our favorites. When I am asked what my favorite book is, I produce a list of 10.
Here are my top 10 favorites for the girlies! In no particular order, as that would be waaay too hard.
1. Zen Shorts (jon muth's illustrations and stories are uniformly strong)
2. The Quiltmakers Gift (again the illustrations! the story!!!!)
3. Jamberry (bruce degen transforms the world into berries with the most appealing rhymes)
4. Snoozers (we sing this book cover to cover)
5. The Big Red Barn (Margaret Wise Brown in top form!)
6. The Cat that Walked Across France (great impressionist art, puts small children to sleep - a perfect book, no?)
7. The Runaway Rice Cake (dumplings, noodles, nian gao, oh my!)
8. If You Give a Pig a Pancake (I like this book so much I rewrote it as satire and presented it to colleagues)
9. When Pigasso Met Mootisse - a Moosterpiece
10. The Giving Tree - delightful to read with a small girl who squeaks every last word in the sentence.
