[quote=Anonymous]I'd like to recommend longer picture books. For example "The Kings Equal" is published as both a picture book and a novella. There's a few other Katherine Patterson books that are similar - maybe "Blueberries for the Queen" also? Other ideas: -Weslandia -The Man Who Walked Between the Towers -pretty much any Patricia Polico -Roxaboxen -Miss Rumphius -Time of Wonder -fairy tale retellings illustrated by Paul O. Zelensky -basically anything illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline The best thing about picking really gorgeous illustrated picture books with really good stories is you're simultaneously introducing your child to awesome art (especially with illustrators like Zelensky, who also illustrated some chapter books like Toys Go Out), the value of story, and introducing whatever truths the story is teaching through the story. Plus all the value of reading aloud together for connection. So much winning![/quote]
