You should know Peter Brown.

Just in case you aren't familiar with one of my personal favorite kiddie lit authors, I'd like to introduce you.  His name is Peter Brown and he rocks.  He is both author and illustrator to some fantastical picture books, including The Curious Garden, winner of the E.B. White Award (as in Charlotte's Web author E.B. White), as well as being named an ALA Notable book.  You should definately grab a large handful of his work the next time that you stop in to the library.  Oh, and moms...he's pretty cute, too!

I Love Lists!

I don't know about you, but I go nuts for lists.  Especially when they involve books.  And especially when they involve children's books!  Scholastic's Parent and Child Magazine recently published The 100 Greatest Children's Books.  I found so many that I loved, but I also was disappointed to see some of my favorites left out.  Check it out, and let me know what you think!  http://www.scholastic.com/100books/
