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.

Oh, OH! Dude, how could I forget the Magic School Bus? Magic School Bus is the best thing ever! I'm talking the originals, here, not the cheesy new Scholastic ones. So much cool stuff to learn, so funny, the great drawings, all the awesome little details (Miss Frizzle's constantly changing outfits that always match the situation, the bus). I LOVE the Magic School Bus.

Sorry for all the comments!
