I remember when this book first came out. I thought it was beautiful, but I wanted words to go with the pictures. And then I didn't. And then I did ... and so it's been down through the years. Take a look at The Silver Pony: a story in pictures by Lynd Ward and see what you think.

One of the picture books Constant Reader recommended came just at the perfect time and shortly after my first reading I was able to share it with weekend company! We all enjoyed it. :-) They All Saw a Cat, by Brendan Wenzel, is about a cat out on a walk. Sounds simple enough, but how it is seen by a child, dog, fish (my favorite, I think), mouse and more is what makes this book so delightful.

Constant Reader also mentioned Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds. So have others! See the May 28, 2016 post. :-)

Wandering Reader remembers loving There's a Wocket in My Pocket,by Dr. Seuss. (One of my favorites here was McElligot's Pool). Of course, we both agreed that just about anything by Seuss was amazing. ;-) Then there was one called Moonlight and Shadow, by Elisabeth Jones and illustrated by James Coplestone. I'd never heard of this so did a bit of checking and learned that it had "outstanding outwork for a little horse who is afraid of his own shadow." It sounds like I book I'd like.

This, too, has been a fun project! Not only was there a wonderful initial response when I asked about favorite picture books, but short emails pop in from time to time adding one or more additional books that come to mind.
