It’s so much fun to read picture books with my toddler. She simply loves reading, and although here books of choice often revolve around The Berenstain Bears and Clifford or Dora (none of which I enjoy all that much), sometimes I can get in some great books that I love too.Â
The pictures are created with pen, crayon, pencil, paint, a photo of the author himself, and probably more forms of art that I have not recognized. Most of the pages are truly messy, as a “work in progress” would certainly be. My daughter loves that the main characters talk directly to her, and the unfinished look to the pages throws her off, but I love how it’s an unfinished look: it opens up discussion on the writing and creation process itself!
What picture books have you discovered lately?
