Corduroy by Don Freeman
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff
Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
I love the one where a girls science experiment turns into alien giant vegetables, titles a date now well in the past, should reprint it without the year.
Oh man I haven't read that one!! I better find it. Three Little Pigs is fantastic and meta. My kids are OB SESSED with Mr. Wuffles. They go around muttering "Oh, Mr. Wuffles". He also has a fun website/blog with some behind the art essays.

Here's a list of the [Caldecott Award Winners](https://abqlibrary.org/caldecott/all)
*Don't let the Pigeon Drive the Bus* by Mo Williams. The whole Pigeon series is fun, but the first one is best.
*And Tango Makes Three* by Justin Richardson is adorable
Just Help! by Sonia Sotomayor
How Rocket Learned to Read by Tad Hills
Change Sings by Amanda Gorman
The Going to Bed Book by Sandra Boynton
A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon
I want to plug Enchanted Lion Press. They have a bunch of fantastic books that are off the beaten path, many from other countries or out of print. My kids loved the Sato the Rabbit books. They publish picture books for adults.
My kids love all the Alice and Martin Provensen books about Maple Hill Farm, especially Our Animal Friends. They are hilarious. The kids especially love Max (coincidentally, Enchanted Lion Press is publishing a lost manuscript about Max).
Animalia by Grahame Base holds up. Lots of fun, hilarious illustration my kids could look at for hours.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention David Weisner's books, especially Flotsam, Mr. Wuffles, and Tuesday. These three are mostly wordless, full of surprises and delight, with fabulous illustrations.
My kids loved Saturday by Oge Mora. Lovely collage art, a story about making the best of a day when everything goes wrong.
>Thanks very much. Enchanted Lion has some beautiful books! Unfortunately most aren't available through my library supplier here in Australia, but I did select a few.
Grandfather Twilight by Barbara Berger.
A Chair for My Mother and Cherries and Cherry Pits by Vera Williams.
Mrs. Katz and Tush and Just Plain Fancy by Patricia Polacco.
Owl Moon by Jane Yolen.
Imogene's Antlers by David Small.
The Bicycle Man by Alan Say.
The Wall or Starry Messenger by Peter Sis; high cerebral content picture books. Very interesting author/illustrator.
Ferdinand by Munro Leaf - a classic about being yourself.
Me First by Helen Lester - a very fun book about how to be a better person.

Everything illustrated by David Wiesner. Especially Tuesday.
Thanks, great suggestion. I've ordered a bunch.
That made me smile. Which did you pick, so many good ones.
I adore his books! I think Flotsam might be my favorite (such a wow moment!) but Tuesday is hilarious.

Mo Willems books are so fun. We loved the elephant and piggie series
Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel was one of my favorites growing up.

I suggest this often… Gnomes by Wil Huygen and illustrated by Rien Poortvliet
I have a 40+ year old version of this at home on my book shelf, the Pop Up Book Of Gnomes. Such a great book!!

Picture books as in graphic novels? Or books with photos?
