I am and have been a lover of picture books for a very long time. I have so many personal favorites that it is hard to pick just one. Therefore, the latest one I love to hear is Peek-a-Boo, I Love You! by Sandra Magsamen. What used to be a bedtime story I would often read to my baby girl during infancy, has now become one of her favorites to read to me before she goes to sleep. With vivid, colorful flip book pages and a rhythmic rhyme scheme, how can one not enjoy hearing and watching a 3-year-old bring this story to life.

Nowland- I will always have the best memories of secretly binge reading Hank the Cowdog! There's lots of pictures to go with the reading but really the stories were always fun and addicting. Htc is the closest thing to a picture book that I can remember liking and reading on my own. I recommend reading at least a few but be careful because you might not be able to stop buying them

The Missing Piece by Shel Silverstein is one picture book I frequently revisited. It is simple and playful, yet it delivers such a strong message: sometimes we go through life in search of something that we actually have inside ourselves all along. People so often fumble through life feeling incomplete, but this "incomplete" circle shows us that it is more important to enjoy the journey, and he ultimately learns that the thing we need most is just a well-rounded self!

One of my favorite picture books is Eloise by Kay Thompson. I think I liked her so much because she was so mischievous and who wouldn’t want to live in the Plaza Hotel in New York City?

I was always a fan of Dr. Seuss, but the story of the Sneetches was a powerful message about tolerance and the ridiculousness of prejudice based on physical appearances. I took that message to heart when I first read it as a kid, and I think about it all the time as an adult.

I knew about this book long before I knew I would be moving to Texas! I loved the beautiful drawings. The story is sad, but also really moving. This book made me fall in love with our state flower! Bluebonnets are pretty, but the legend makes them even more lovely!

This was my first science exposure when I was a little trouble maker in school. I just grabbed it at the library and started to read it and could not put it down that was when I fell in love with science how things interact in the science world.

I LOVE reading this book to my students around this time of the school year.

I used to teach a reading comprehension class, and I was afforded the opportunity to read many picture books, Mufaro's Beautiful Daughter's was one of my favorites. An African folklore that reminds us to always be kind and nice, and that being ugly, selfish, and mean spirited gets you nowhere. Good always prevails!

I loved reading to my two daughters when they were young. Their most favorite picture book was If you give a mouse a cookie. They would want me to read this book over and over again therefore it will forever be one of my favorites because it reminds me of them.

I loved all of the books about Miss Nelson when I was growing up, but this one in particular is my favorite because the students trick the principal and run the classroom themselves! In actuality, the students are the ones that are really being tricked by their teacher.
