Bedtime Reading

At the end, you will find a great list of picture book favorites, canonical and heretical.  I’m a big fan of The Wolves in the Walls.

Don’t miss the charming meditation on the bedtime book club by Dwight Garner.  And my advice: Give those books away to new readers, unless they have been read to pieces.
