I have a theory about why some picture books are acclaimed and others aren't (beyond the obvious of publicity), but... before I go into my theory, I thought it'd be good to get some confirmation of my idea from... well, youse guys.

So, questions. What pictures books did you enjoy when you were under four or so? Which ones did you enjoy during your later childhood, such as it is? Which picture books did you not grow up with, but enjoy now? Links are helpful, por favor.

Edit: An explanation as to why you liked a book (the rhyme, the story, the pictures) is good, as is talking about books you hated or books kids you know liked.

I want plastic books too. Well, after I can read normal print again...
I gave up on reading in the bath because I inevitably at some point drop the book and it becomes totally ruined. But I wish I could read in the bath.

I actually could if I bought print/Braille books and then separated out the Braille pages. In print/Braille books they put the Braille on clear plastic sheets so both the print and Braille can be read at the same time (good for a blind/sighted pair reading together or one of them learning to read. And handy as it works with the learner being blind or sighted). So, anyhow, I could take out all the plastic pages and then read them in the bath. Hmmm...
