Katy and the big snow is really popular round here. I'm planning to get the children some more books for Christmas so this is really useful.DeliveringGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320150355352857841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272887249587912361.post-5667660768322263282011-11-03T13:42:57.166+00:002011-11-03T13:42:57.166+00:00I'll probably think of more later, but here ar...I'll probably think of more later, but here are some of our favourites (some are older and some are newer authors):<br /><br />Jan Brett (my #1 favourite)<br />Laura Numeroff<br />Virginia Lee Burton<br />Margaret Wise Brown<br />Peggy Parish/Herman Parish (Amelia Bedelia series)<br />Patricia Polacco<br />Syd Hoff<br />Else Holmelund Minarik (Little Bear series)<br />Mo Willems (pigeon books)<br />Tomie dePaola<br />Max Lucado is a Christian author who has written both for adults and children--we really like his children's books.<br /><br />Let me know if you have any questions about any of those or if you would like specific titles for any particular topics. : )Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862163059927293977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272887249587912361.post-32812661626569574932011-11-01T23:26:50.617+00:002011-11-01T23:26:50.617+00:00Lentil has been a favorite around here for years! ...Lentil has been a favorite around here for years!

Will look out for that.DeliveringGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320150355352857841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272887249587912361.post-15861001292568474982011-10-31T23:56:03.538+00:002011-10-31T23:56:03.538+00:00You shouldn't feel hesitant to post about US p...You shouldn't feel hesitant to post about US picture books--I'm very glad you are enjoying books/authors that I've loved since I was little, and it's nice to hear your comments on them. I post about British picture books, and I'm not an expert either, though I have purchased lots of them since living here. You don't have to be an expert to enjoy good children's books. : ) As for suggestions of my favorite US books, oh wow, I definitely have favourites...where would I begin? I think my list would be too long for this comment, though. Maybe I'll put it in a separate comment once I have a think about it. It's funny about Robert McCloskey. I have a lot of his books (Blueberries for Sal is a fav), but I have never read Lentil! Anyway, good choices this week...I need to get back to doing this!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862163059927293977noreply@blogger.com
