Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about picture books.
Do you have a favourite picture book, either from your own childhood, or reading to you children?
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your opinion in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks.
One of the little girls I babysit, my cousins three year old daughter Kaitlyn, is a budding book worm. I walk in the door and she comes toddling out with books under her arms, wanting to be read to. I don’t mean that she comes out with one book, or even two – no, she brings out a pile. As such, I’ve been reading more picture books over the past six months than I can ever remember having read before.
My #1 favourite picture book is still Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are (was very excited to see the movie, and yes I did enjoy it). But it’s not my only favourite. I decided to go cover gathering…

This is a great question. I haven't thought about picture books since the last time I babysat!

I love Animalia, too! I bet it's a favorite of a lot of people.

oops. Posted and forget to comment. MY TAKE on the picture book thing is a little broader...
Thank you so much for this musings Rebecca! It was great to take a trip down memory lane and revisit the books I loved so much as a child! You can see my favorites at my blog here, Reading Amidst the Chaos.
Great question!

My Picture Books
Great question..brought back a lot of good memories.
My boys' favorites are here
Yeah for the budding book worm! I'm sure there was a book when I was a kid but I can't remember.
Here's my answer for today
My son loves books just like me, he is nearly two and if you say to him go and get a book to read he will run excited to his room and get one and run back and once that one is read he will repeat until you have read ALL of his books! and if you dare to say no just one a temper tantrum will beon the cards! i love reading childrens books and looking at all the pictures.
I don't know about childhood, but there's a recent picture book that delighted me.
Hi Rebecca,
I love picture books. I don't have any little ones, but I still look at picture books. Mine is posted. Have a great day!

I don't remember ever having a picture book when I was younger. Here's mine.
What a great topic! I had a lot of fun tracking down covers to some of my favorites!

Great question! I answered it here.
Mine are not so much pictorial books. My Musing is up. :)
I love picture books, and so enjoyed reading them with my boys and now with my grandniece. Please stop by for my post.
My favorite picture book was The Little Engine that Could, the original classic version that was out in the 1960's.
I'm late to the party but at least I'm at the party. . . Here's my answer.
Sorry to add this so late. It has been a crazy week. But I love picture books so I had to add mine:
