Favorite Children’s Books

September 27, 2017 By Kat

As I write my own children’s book, I am continually inspired by books that others have written and illustrated. Here are 10 of my favorite ones! For a description of these books, check out my latest YouTube video!

1. What Do You Do With An Idea? By Kobi Yamada and Mae Besom

2. Indestructibles: Baby Faces By Amy Pixton and Kate Merritt

3. Indestructibles: Baby Peekaboo By Amy Pixton and Kate Merritt

4. The Family Book By Todd Parr

5. Dragons Love Tacos By Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri

6. There is a Bird On Your Head! By Mo Willems

7. Can I Play Too? By Mo Willems

8. Green Eggs and Ham By Dr. Seuss

9. The Giving Tree By Shel Silverstein


10. Love You Forever By Robert Munsch and Sheila McGraw

Many of these authors have written other books, so I’ve included links to related books from them. Not all sequels are as great as the original 😛 but I wanted to include them in case you’re curious. Especially for some of the series like Elephant & Piggie and Indestructibles, I haven’t read all of them yet, but I’m sure there are some other good ones in there too!

  • What Do You Do With a Problem?
  • Indestructibles
  • Todd Parr Books
  • Dragons Love Tacos 2
  • Elephant and Piggie Series
  • Seuss Books
  • Shel Silverstein Books

Anyhow, hope this list was helpful!
