These are a Few of My Favorite Things...

I was at the book store the other day browsing the children's book section (as usual) and came across some wonderful stories. I can spend an entire afternoon on the carpeted floor immersed in others' imaginations and admiring their art. I think I was the oldest kid there.

Here's a list of my favorites during my most recent visit (In no particular order). I have to say that while the stories I chose are all very unique and creative, it's the illustrations I fell in love with!
