After an exhaustive search (just ask my poor librarian!) I have come up with my top ten favorite picture books. Here's the qualities I look for in a picture book: wit, beautiful illustrations, cleverness, good read-aloud rhythm, and non-preachy lessons. I hope you enjoy my list! I'm always looking for new ones, so let me know what your favorites are!
