(I have about 1500 picture books in my library. It was really hard to narrow the list down to my favorites. I just love books.)
1) Tried and true: It's hard to go wrong with the following:
My favorite author/illustrators of picture books and their websites:
Eve Bunting
Jan Brett www.janbrett.com
Eric Carle http://www.eric-carle.com/home.html blog: http://www.ericcarleblog.blogspot.com/
Doreen Cronin http://www.doreencronin.com/
Denise Fleming http://denisefleming.com/
Mem Fox http://www.memfox.net/welcome.html
Kevin Henkes http://www.kevinhenkes.com/
Pat Hutchins
Helen Lester http://www.helenlester.com/
Arnold Lobol
Jonathan London
Mercer Mayer http://www.littlecritter.com/
Robert Munsch http://robertmunsch.com/

Cynthia Rylant http://www.cynthiarylant.com/
Dr. Seuss http://www.seussville.com/
David Shannon

Audrey Wood http://www.audreywood.com/
Most authors/illustrators have a website or blog, but not all. Don't forget to check YouTube. A few can be found there reading their books.
2) Books that have been published in the last five years that I can't teach/live/work without:)
Tad Hills - Love the Rocket stories http://tadhills.com/
Eric Litwin and James Dean - Pete the Cat http://www.ericlitwin.com/
Chris Raschka - (Ball for Daisy)
Judy Schachner - Skippyjon Jones http://www.judithbyronschachner.com/
Melanie Watt - Scaredy Squirrel http://www.scaredysquirrel.com/
Mo Willems (Only wish I'd found him sooner!) http://www.mowillems.com/
These are just a few of my favorites. It's really hard for me to "meet" a book I don't like.
I'll be posting more about my favorite "new" picture books as I introduce them to my darlings.
Keep Reading!
