Below is a list of the top 30 Picture Books according to School Library Journal. Copy and paste this post and create a post of your own with it. Then, go back and highlight the books you and your children have read! After you post, leave a comment at The Bookworm's Booklist to let me and others know that your post is up.

Mo Willems' books are hilarious! My kids, who are waaaaay too old for this genre crack up when they read them to the littles!

Wow, you've read a lot!
"In the Night Kitchen" is a favourite in our house. It's a bit weird, but the illustrations are fantastic!
