Recent Picture Book Reading

We've read so many picture books over the last few months from both the library and our own collection that I couldn't list them all but these are a few of our favorite finds:

Baby/Toddler Books for C:
Up! by Kristine O'Connell George - a great Daddy and daughter sotry
Giddy Up! Let's Ride! by Flora McDonald - C crawls to this one and says "booooook" and slaps the cover with glee. We decided we had to get our own copy. I wish it was still in print!
Maisy's Morning on the Farm - C has fallen in love with the Maisy books and this is her favorite of the ones we've read so far.

Longer Picture Books for M:
Patrick's Dinosaurs by Carol Carrick - A Little Boy imagines dinosaurs all around him while on a trip to the zoo.
The Library by Sarah Stewart - This one is about a woman who loves to read so much she literally fills her entire house with books.
Chewy Louie by Howie Schneider - A boy is afraid he will have to give away his new puppy because the puppy chews everything, even the back porch.
Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3 by Bill Martin - We've checked this one out several times and it's been a big inspiration for M to learn to count to 100.
Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes - We love all his mouse books!
