Children's Books discussion

Here's some of my favorites:

Obviously, any of the many Aesop's Fables editions belongs to this topic. I am currently reading this edition, with illustrations from a variety of well-known 19th and 20th century illustrators such as Arthur Rackham and Walter Crane.
Aesop's Fables: A Classic Illustrated Edition

On a more humorous note, and with a twist ending, there is:
That Is Not a Good Idea! by Mo Willems

This one is a good classic lesson/moral teacher:

Cautionary Tales for Children

The Strega Nona books teach great lessons! My favorite is Big Anthony and the Magic Ring

My mom liked Sylvester and the Magic Pebble

Growing up my best friends and I would pour over the Sweet Pickles collection. I think most of the them had a lesson/moral. I remember Elephant Eats the Profits was one of my favorites.

I think many of Bill Peet's books had a lesson in them as well. I remember Cyrus the Unsinkable Sea Serpent talked about the value of being a loyal friend.

I will look for Elephant Eats the Profits and the others... I've never heard of them!

My favourite picture book to read to children is Pom Pom Gets the Grumps by Sophy Henn its fabulous and often read it by hear because my own boy loved it so much

There is a beautiful new book by Billy Bloom called Walter and the Wallet. It teaches a lesson of doing the right thing, but in a gentle and humorous way. I love the ending, which I smile at every time I read it!
