Most of my students who are in special education are non readers, so these books make it simple for them the look at and enjoy, while I read the words. So many of these books are nonfiction which is important for all children to see as well as fiction books. The art work in these picture books can also be spectacular and can be so beautiful for the students and adults to see. Just as with any book your goal is that after you read these books to your child or students, you will hope that this will in turn create a love of reading in them. These books can also be there ones that you keep forever in your personal libraries. Many of these picture books hold up over time and always have the same message even many years later. I will have to stop by the library to pick up some of these books and try them out for myself. Thanks again for just a smart and concise list.

Reading this one after Susan T.'s (Chicken Spaghetti), you really get a sense of the books that are best for Youngers vs Olders, and then there's Katie's list that is so perfect for boys.
