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 adored Dr. Seuss when I was really small. I think I liked the ryhmes and the really colorful pictures. Oh! And anything that had to do with someplace I'd been -- like "Make Way for Ducklings"
Then I got completely obsessed with fairytales, for a very long time. I still love them.
Now that I'm older, I like a lot of the more clever books, or the ones with really gorgeous illustrations.
