I’ve collected children’s books since i was small, and I home school. There’s no way I could list just one!
For autumn: The Lonely Scarecrow & Little Scarecrow Boy
winter: Stranger in the Woods & First Snow in the Woods & Snowmen at Night
spring: Bunny’s Noisy Book
summer: Lost in the Woods
Fun to read aloud with rhythm: Pajama Time! & Food Fight!
Every home library should include: The Fairy Books (Red, Blue-etc), The Wonderful Wizard of Oz & some version of Mother Goose (We like the Mary Engelbreit or McCue illustrated versions best)
Favorite Children’s Authors and/or Illustrators: Margaret Wise Brown, Lorna Balian, Mary Engelbreit, Lisa McCue, A.A.Milne, Tasha Tudor, Rien Poortvliet, Beatrix Potter, Chris Van Allsburg, David Kirk, Rosemary Wells, Michael Garland, Don freeman, Laura Numeroff, Mark Moulton Kimball, Eloise Wilken, James Herriot…
When I posed this question to my son while helping him set up a train and answer here, he said “I love all my books!”.
