100 Picture Books

[osprey_archer]

Mad with the power of list-making, I've made yet another list, this one focused on picture books. We've reached a slow time at work and I simply must keep myself occupied somehow!

For obvious reasons, this list leans heavily on books that were available when I was young, but I've included as many newer favorites as I can, as well.

You had so many Frances books, but not the one that was up there with Bread and Jam as my favorite: A Baby Sister for Frances. I loved that! But admittedly "Frances" as a name is close to "Francesca" and "Gloria" (the little sister) is sorta-kinda like "Gabriella," so I was sure the picture book was for me. Also Baby Gloria is in one of those baby sacks with a pull string at the bottom, which Baby Gabriella had, too.

... But baby sister books maybe are not such a hit with readers who **are** the younger sister.

It's a lovely three pages to gaze on. Picture book covers are so fun.

We had all the Franceses! And we read them all! But probably that one least because as a youngest child myself I was not terribly interested in reading about a child getting a younger sibling.

Picture book covers are such a delight. Making this list definitely made me want to go raid the picture book section at the local bookstore, haha.
