Perhaps with today's post you'll enjoy some reminders of picture books you loved in your childhood. Introduce them to a new audience! Dig into their rich spiritual underpinnings! Below I list the picture book classics I have featured here at PBT. If they are on the BPL's list, I'll tell you their rank. Just click on the titles to get to those posts. If you have a recommendation for a classic picture book (or one you loved as a child) that you think I should feature, suggest it in the comments section.
At THIS POST I write about Mo Willems extraordinary Elephant & Piggie series as well as others of his books. There are many of those books in the BPL's list. Highest ranked are Are You Ready to Play Outside? and My Friend is Sad.
As you might expect, Dr. Seuss books are all over the list. The best way to access posts about his books at PBT is to go to the search box in the upper right corner (change to web version if on a phone) and type in Seuss. You'll find 8 or so.
Ranked #2! The Snowy Day
Ranked #17! The Tiny Seed
Ranked #43! Brown Bear, Brown Bear...
This book is not photographed at PBT. Instead I show another and write generally about Carle's series of 4 books called Brown Bear and Friends.
