Best children's books: my all-time favorites

Ranked #8,003 in Books, Poetry & Writing, #283,699 overall | Donates to Squidoo Charity Fund

Great picture books for kids of all ages.

Everybody in our family is a reading fanatic, and after my kids were grown I spent several years volunteering in the public schools reading with Spanish-speaking kids, so I've read a lot of picture books. Here are some of my very favorites.

The intro picture is from "How I Became A Pirate" by Melinda Long, illustrated by one of the best, David Shannon.

Oh noes! I stayed up to 2:57 am working on this because I am dizzy with nostalgia over these books! They're piled up all around me and they fill me with sweet memories...

    Oh, my favorite from your list is Ox-Cart Man. My favorite children's book however, is Marven of the Great North Woods (working on that lens now). Excellent list of books.
