Oh, I love that illustration from Robert McCloskey. I’ve never read his books but I’m going to take a look at them next time I take my granddaughter to the library. We never seem to have enough books to read so these could be a great addition!

I take issue with the inclusion of Margaret Wise Brown on this list. She is maybe the most insipid children’s author that I have encountered. Her stories read like scribbles on a cocktail napkin. The only boon to her works is that they are generally accompanied by decent illustrations.

Love your list of children’s authors. Robert McCloskey’s Blueberries for Sal is one of my all time favorites, too. I love the illustrations in blueberry-colored ink, and the simple text is wonderful as well.

Great list! My little guy also loves Richard Scarry’s books. And for very very young kids, Roger Priddy is the master. Did you know Ruth Krauss is married to Crocket Johnson? I know this is an old post, but I had to comment. We review everything my two year old reads (and then come) on our site, Chronicle of an Infant Bibliophile.

Must agree with “Love You Forever” (cheesy), BUT “The Paper Bag Princess” and “Stephanie’s Ponytail” are two of the BEST Girl Power books I know! A MUST read for anyone with an elementary aged daughter- or high school or college for that matter! “Something Good” is another modern classic for Daddy’s and their girls!
