"After years of finding children’s books tucked away in authors’ bibliographies (Graham Greene wrote children’s books!), followed by quick disappointment (how can they be out of print?), I realized that I was having this same frustrating revelation over and over. And when I would bring these discoveries up with my friends, they would have the same reaction (John Updike wrote children’s books! How can they be out of print?) The goal of this blog is to make more widely known these much-coveted literary rarities (and perhaps stir up enough interest to bring them back into print)."

My Ten Favorite Picture Books
Whenever I go to make a list like this my inner John Kerry kicks in. I waffle and over think it. So, this time I'm not going to think too much:
- Sylvester and the Magic Pebble by William Steig -- An emotionally moving fairy tale with funny animals.
- Harry the Dirty Dog by Gene Zion, illustrated by Margaret Bloy Graham
- Cottonball Colin by Jeanne Willis, illustrated by Tony Ross
- I Am A Bunny by Ole Risom, illustrated by Richard Scarry -- Simple, poetic text with illustrations to match.
- The Stray Dog by Marc Simont
- Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson
- Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey
- It Could Always Be Worse: A Yiddish Folk Tale illustrated by Margot Zemach
- The Animal Fair, a Giant Golden Book by Alice and Martin Provensen -- A big collection of animal stories illustrated in colorful midcentury style.
- How to Heal a Broken Wing by Bob Graham
