Will write a post on these.Maria Nikolajevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554093780864419960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363070543129427663.post-34606276880119342552011-10-04T23:25:24.765+01:002011-10-04T23:25:24.765+01:00"Actually, I am not sure I would take picture..."Actually, I am not sure I would take picturebooks to a desert island. They are too short. I'd take ten books of 800 pages each"<br /><br />This is always my reaction to this question! Despite the fact that my primary loyalty is to children's lit, I'd bring Bleak House, David Copperfield, War and Peace, Middlemarch... I haven't even read the last two, but I would rather gamble on a book I haven't read (but have been meaning to) than risk not having enough to read on the desert island...<br /><br />I always have to remind myself that that isn't really what the question is about!Ayellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363070543129427663.post-71984551659873033292011-10-04T23:24:56.681+01:002011-10-04T23:24:56.681+01:00Thanks for the list!

If I were making a list of "best" picture books, I'd definitely include <em>Where the Wild Things Are</em>. <em>Little Blue and Little Yellow</em> and <em>The Tunnel</em> are an great choices, too! I thought about both Lionni & Browne, but couldn't decide which book from each. Confess I do not know the books by Nordqvist, Crowther, and Kitamura.<br /><br />Such lists are inherently subjective, but I nonetheless enjoy learning about people's favorite books. So, thanks again for sharing.Philip Nelhttp://www.philnel.comnoreply@blogger.com
