The Best Books of 2010

I love this time of year – when the “best of” lists come out for everything imaginable.

Since my son’s reading on his own now and selecting books that are more than 32 pages in length, I haven’t stayed as current as I would’ve liked to this past year as far as picture books go. Luckily, the lovely people over at EarlyWord compiled a list of the lists for me to enjoy, and to pass on to you.

The picture books that I found most appealing from all the lists include:

by Chris Barton

by Marla Frazee

by Bruce Eric Kaplan

by Mo Willems

by John Burningham

by Béatrice Rodriguez

by Kamako Sakai

by Laura Vaccaro Seeger

by Emily Gravett

by Carolyn Coman
