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 wow how could I forget Love You Forever? Just thinking about it makes me want to cry my eyes out.

At my nephew's baptism, the priest told the story, and I swear, there wasn't a dry eye in all of Bay Ridge.

Is that the one where she rocks him after he's married? I always thought it was a bit creepy.
