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.

Apparently I loved Peter Rabbit as a toddler, though I don't remember why. And my parents still have The Owl and the Pussycat memorised from reading it to me so much.
