Before I came to the Helen Hall Library as a Public Services Librarian, I was a Children's Librarian for about 12 years. I loved doing story time with children and their families, and picture books were a big part of that. When a picture book is just as it should be: brief, with appealing illustrations, and touching, fun or stirring to the imagination, it is a joy to read aloud.
Vegetables in Underwear, by Jared Chapman
What to Do with a Box, by Jane Yolen
Me...Jane, by Patrick McDonnell
We Are in a Book! by Mo Willems
Shy, by Deborah Freedman
Breathtaking backgrounds and appealing animal illustrations draw the reader in. This story touches any child who might be shy, an animal lover, and those wanting to have a friend.
When An Elephant Falls in Love, by Davide Cali
Owen, by Kevin Henkes
Here are some additional titles that are fun to read aloud to children. Check these out from our library and see how your children like them!
