I will confess: I love children's books. I love the idea of saying something in as few words as possible. And they have pretty pictures. Here are some of my favorites. Tibet: Through the Red Box by Peter Sis. A semi autobiographical book about the author's father's journey through Tibet with interstitial looks at the author's childhood in Communist Czechoslovakia. IT HAS YETIS!!! St. George and the Dragon by Mary Hodges and Trina Hyman. One of the best looking books I've ever seen. Recipient of the Caldecott Medal (award for best illustrations in a children's book) for 1984. Eric Carle's Treasury of Classic Stories for Children. A set of classic fairy tales from the writer and illustrator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Beautifully drawn, it has all the great parts of Carle's illustration style including using paint on sponges. What are your favorite picture books/books for kids?

I forgot to mention the other great book about St. George: St. George and the Dragon by Jim Forest and Vladislav Andrejev. The illustrations are all Byzantine and Russian style religious art. This is what the cover looks like, for reference.
