Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett
I thought I'd read this before but it looked new once I opened up the book. There's a fantastic city where people don't need to go to the grocery store to get food. The WEATHER provides the food!! A fog of pea soup, yellow Jello sunsets, broccoli from the sky, etc! This book can completely capture young readers' imaginations.

Busy Toes by CW Bowie
This is a simple picture book with lots of feet.

How My Library Grew By Dinah by Martha Alexander
When a new library is being built near Dinah's house, she quietly chronicles the events and presents her book to the librarian on opening day. Dinah is super excited to learn how to write her name so she can get her own library card.

I Ain't Gonn Paint No More by Karen Beaumont
This rhyming picture book follows a kid who covers himself in beautiful, colorful paints one body part at a time! The artwork is phenomenal and really lend to the energy and brightness of the story.

The Shape Game by Anthony Browne
A boy goes to an art museum with his family to celebrate his mother's birthday. The author explores different works of art, pointing out subtle detail that the layperson would probably miss. At the end of the day they go to the overpriced museum store and purchase two pens and a notepad. Here's the Shape Game, which sounds super fun: One person draws a random shape and the other person makes a picture out of the shape!

Flight of the Dodo by Peter Brown
After being crapped on by a goose flying overhead, Penguin leads a group of Waddlers (AKA flightless birds for the rest of us) as they set out on a self constructed hot air balloon to get their first bird's eye view of the world and attempt to poop from the sky for the first time.

Madeline and the Gypsies by Ludwig Bemelmans
Madeline runs away and joins a group of gypsies at the circus. I never really loved Madeline as a child. The pictures are bold and the rhymes are fun though. There are monochromatic pages and super colorful pages too.

Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing by Judi Barrett
This is a hilarious book with laugh out loud pictures of animals in clothing. A porcupine wearing a muumuu shreds her dress. A camel wears a couple of hats on its hump. An elephant has on the exact same outfit as a woman visiting the zoo--a fashion faux pax! Judi Barrett books are great :o)

Mrs. Armitage Queen of the Road by Quentin Blake
Mr. Blake is the first Children's Laureate of the UK. He illustrated a bunch of Roald Dahl books that I read as a kid. His pictures of people are fascinating to look at, they're these weird, sketchy beings that are completely imperfect and thus, super cool to look at. Mrs. Armitage inherits a car from her uncle and as she's driving around, parts of it become damaged but she just rips the pieces off and continues driving until soon she's just riding on a bare bones car!

Zoom by Istvan Banyai
This wordless picturebook starts off with a picture of a rooster and slowly zooms out, page by page with several instances of a picture in a picture.

Re-Zoom by Istvan Banyai
The sequel to Zoom starts with an abstract picture and ends with a train.
