Favorite children’s books

 

When you’re a children’s book lover, putting together a list of favorites is daunting. There are just too many good ones to choose from.

That’s why I went to the children’s services director at my local library (Joella Peterson from Provo Library), and to Julie Bristow, a mom of three who grew up with a house full books. Julie’s mom, Annette, is known in her community as “The Book Lady,” and she made it her life’s mission to scout out the best children’s books.

Between the three of us, we came up with an abbreviated list that’ll be a good starting point for building a library of books your children will grow up reading and loving.

We’d love to know what your own favorites are!
