The first ones that come to mind are Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little for older kids craving a story, and Dr. Seuss and Goodnight Moon for younger ones who simply enjoy playful language and concepts. I think Goodnight Moon by Brown and Hurd is just breathtakingly good; it's a poem in exquisitely concise, musical words and images, equivalent to a Bach concerto, either D or F minor, for sure. Really. I'm not kidding. And for those children in between, who crave more mature stories in their picture books, I really like Corduroy by Don Freeman.
