"Blueberries for Sal" by Robert McCloske...We love:<br /><br />"Blueberries for Sal" by Robert McCloskey<br /><br />"Airport" by Byron Barton <br />"Machines at Work" by Byron Barton<br />"Airplanes" by Byron Barton--this guy isn't a literary genius, but the pictures are great and very interesting for Andrew.<br /><br />"If I Were a Tree" by Dar Hosta<br /><br />"Going on a Bear Hunt" by Rosen/Oxenbury<br /><br />"Olivia" by Ian Falconer (also love "Olivia and the Missing Toy")<br /><br />We also like the "Little Critter" book series by Mercer Mayer. Again, not up for a Caldecott or anything, but still very cute and full of detail. <br /><br />"Go Dog. Go!" by P.D. Eastman (a total favorite of mine from when I was a kid)<br /><br />"Kitten's First Full Moon" by Kevin Henkes<br /><br />"Otto has a Birthday Party" by Todd Parr<br /><br />"Harry the Dirty Dog" by Gene Zion<br /><br />"Bird, Butterfly, Eel" by James Prosek<br /><br />This is total overload, but we love books. Hope these give you some ideas when you go to the library.<br /><br />:)<br />ErinAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03718314227616489414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28215115.post-81696339909303363642009-05-29T18:03:23.509-04:002009-05-29T18:03:23.509-04:00Well, blogspot.com cut off the links.
