My Favorite Children's Books



Where The Wild Things Are By Maurice Sendak



Marshmallow By Clare Turlay Newberry



Fancy Nancy By Jane O'Connor



Chrysanthemum By Kevin Henkes



Wave By Suzy Lee

This book is AMAZING! This story is comprised of only pictures and no text. It was such a sweet story even though there are no words.

These four books are my favorite Eric Carle books: The Very Hungary Caterpillar, The Tiny Seed, and The Grouchy Ladybug Not only are they all great stories but the illustrations are AMAZING!



If you give a Mouse a Cookie By Laura Joffe Numeroff

Skippyjon Jones By Judy Schachner
