I don't have kids, but I have a niece who I'm *trying* to turn into a reader so this might be just the thing.<br /><br />As far as favorite picture books, I loved anything by Bill Peet as a kid--but I don't know if those count because they have more words than traditional picture books (which is why I loved them, even as a kid I wanted words and story). And the illustrations are AWESOME. Bill Peet worked as a Disney artist before writing his own books, so you can imagine the artistic quality. The one I remember the most is "The Whingdingdilly" but "Farewell to Shady Glade" and "How Droofus the Dragon Lost His Head" are close seconds.Shannon Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08003607156860716462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328014776473730528.post-39100777995084676292009-12-21T12:19:43.974-05:002009-12-21T12:19:43.974-05:00My kids loved Robert Munsch, but the all time fave...My kids loved Robert Munsch, but the all time fave was Jillian Jiggs by Phoebe Gilman.
