I just had to jump in, so forgive me, please, if I am not following guidelines. In the vein of ‘make new friends’, but keep the old’, here are 10 picture book gems I wouldn’t want to live without, and I hope one or two may be new to you. Of course, I’m using the label old rather loosely – a book I may have read to my now adult kids. In no particular order:
The Story of the Little Mole Who Went in Search of Whodunit*
We read this title in German, but I prefer the direct translation: From the Little Mole Who Wanted to Know Who Pooped on His Head
Cathy Mere at Reflect & Refine and Mandy Robek at Enjoy and Embrace Learning organize this event. Look for the hashtag #pb10for10.
Wonderful list! Many of these are worth reading over and over. I love Brave Irene and Willy and Hugh.

I’m sad that I did not pull together a 10 for 10 post this year – it crept up on me! Love your list though.

It would be too hard to pick favorites, really. Some days one is more comforting or uplifting than another, right? I appreciate your stopping by, Josh!

I’ve only read 4 of those…I must remedy that! I’m not familiar with the PB10for10 thing. I think I missed some posts on Facebook?
