This is just a beginning. I'll add to it when I find picture books I can't do without, which is always. These are books I never get tired of rereading.

  1. Thanks to Darlann I now know you have a blog. How fun! I just wanted to share a couple of our favorite picture books. "Smelly Bill," "Love Stinks," and "Engelbert Sneem and His Dream Vacuum Machine" all by Daniel Postgate. Manny has loved these books since he was about 2 yrs old. They have a fun rhythm and Manny never tires of reading them (and thankfully neither do I). Thanks for having a great blog.

  2. Thanks for creating your tabbed lists, and especially for linking ever book directly to amazon. A lot of work that made it easy or me o add them all to my wish list. I really enjoy our blog. I'm glad 71 Toes linked you up a few months back. I've been enjoying your work ever since.
