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.

My favourite book used to be Pancakes, Pancakes! by Eric Carle. It's about a boy who wants pancakes for breakfast, so he goes out and milks the cows, and collects the eggs, and grinds the flour, etc, and at the end of the book he gets his pancakes. =)

Reading this reminded me of Where the Wild Things Are, that was a great book too. And I love the Dr Seuss ones.
